Description Jesse Glick 2006-02-14 20:50:28 UTC
I think for <class-path-extension>s which have a <binary-origin>, the Libraries
node should display those JARs in the usual way. Mainly useful currently for
library wrapper modules.
Comment 1 Martin Krauskopf 2006-02-15 12:43:15 UTC
Rather enhancement(?). It is a little different case (would have a different
popup-menu, should it it be possible to remove them?, ...). Will need its own
specification.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2007-03-26 07:54:59 UTC
Perhaps technically this is an enhancement request, however this does create a
UI inconsistency and a usability issue (the user thinks: did I specify this
extension correctly? Because if I did, then I'd expect it to be shown in the
logical view.)

So I can imagine some users would call this a bug.
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2008-02-07 17:50:48 UTC
I'm not working on APISupport anymore. Reassigning to owner of the component, so
the issue is not 'forgotten' forever.
Comment 4 rmichalsky 2008-07-18 09:06:29 UTC
http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/366a607ab789. No special actions added, 'remove' and perhaps 'edit' would be
possible (but hand-editing of project.xml is error prone, we probably don't want to encourage that).
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2008-07-18 20:35:05 UTC
Adding/removing entries is tricky - you can change <class-path-extension> but then there may be files in release/ and/or
release.* properties to think about too. See issue #66188.
