Upgraded back to P2
Comment 3 Vladimir Kvashin 2007-04-11 19:11:21 UTC 
Yes, args.c can easily be removed from the project, but you can not physically
delete the file you have no write access to.

Is this a big surprise? I believe not.

The issue is that no error message is displayed. 
It would be fine if either an error message is displayed or "delete" item is
disabled.
Comment 4 Alexander Pepin 2007-12-24 19:12:34 UTC 
Now "Delete" and "Remove" menu items are disabled for read-only files in Files window. Delete item in Project window
also should be disabled. Downgrade the issue to P4.

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
