Description jfurmankiewicz 2006-07-22 02:18:28 UTC 
When opening validation.xml there is no Struts -> right click menu with options
for defining validations for forms.

As a result, all validations have to be defined in XML manually, which is quite
time consuming and negatively impacts developer productivity.
Comment 1 Petr Pisl 2006-07-26 13:02:20 UTC 
I agree, this is one of missing feature. It's not possible to implement in
NetBeans 5.5, because we are now in stabilization phase.
Comment 2 jfurmankiewicz 2006-07-26 14:00:37 UTC 
Also, I think it would be really helpfu to have another view of both
struts-config.xml and validation.xml which would show the contents in a non-XML
fashion.

Most other Struts-oriented IDEs or plugins for Eclipse/etc have a visual Struts
editor to allow the developer a clear view of their entire app.

In NB, I would have to scroll up and down the XML file (and it can get pretty
big very fast) just to try to find the section I need or to figure out what is
where.

The XML file should be the end result, not the actual editor, similar to the way
most UI designers spend their time in Matisse and not actually coding the
low-level UI logic.

Just my suggestion, thanks

P.S. Same thing applies pretty much to JSF support, but that's another set of
issues altogether.
Comment 3 Petr Pisl 2006-07-26 14:07:21 UTC 
Please, could you create new enhancement from your last comment? Just copy your
last comment. I will have then more strength to get such features in the
planning of next release. Enhancement from external users has for us bigger
priority:)

moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Comment 5 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:53:37 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
