Description ngbrito 2006-01-23 03:26:50 UTC 
In the "New Project" dialog, when you change the default project location of any
project type all other project types will start using that location as default.
All projects except NetBeans module and module suite projects. Those seem to
have an independent behaviour.
Comment 1 ngbrito 2006-01-23 03:35:31 UTC 
Nevertheless, changes in "New Module Project" are reflected in "New Suite
Project" and vice-versa.
If you are not carefull, you end up creating those projects in a different place
from all your other projects.
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2006-01-25 15:08:46 UTC 
Described behavior is part of apisupport module, please evaluate.
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2006-01-25 19:51:45 UTC 
Mmm, I even didn't know this. Thanks for the point. Probably we should behave in
the same manner. I'll take a look at their implementations. I'll hopefully solve
this together with similar issues like 71577 one.
Comment 4 Martin Krauskopf 2006-02-17 12:31:43 UTC 
I see the problem. Fix would be simple but there is still a little mess in the
wizard's code. I'll eventually refactor it a little.

This was fixed (see issue 71576).

I'll consider the second soon. Not sure if it would be helpful. Current
implementation (in trunk for now) is very convenient I think.
Comment 6 Martin Krauskopf 2006-02-22 12:44:39 UTC 
I'm not for changing the current behaviour, since developing NetBeans modules
and developing standard projects (j2ee, j2se, web, ...) are little different
cases. I prefer to have those two types of projects in different locations and
current behaviour seems to be a good feature for me. So it would be step back
for me.
But I understand this is just my point of view, so CC HIE if they want to put
their two cents.
If you do not agree probably it would be best to solve it on the mailing list
where more people can bring their two cents if Jano does not have strong opinion.

Others is already fixed in 5.0u1.
Comment 7 Martin Krauskopf 2006-02-22 12:45:34 UTC 
Actually we do not depend on the issue 47737 for now.
