Description jfurmankiewicz 2006-11-14 19:08:17 UTC
NB seems to be ignoring my layer.xml folder structure where I need nested
context menus, e.g.

this works:

    <folder name="Editors">
        <folder name="text">
            <folder name="x-jsp">
                <folder name="Popup">
                    <folder name="HTML">
                                  ...all items here...
                    </folder>
                </folder>
            </folder>
        </folder>
    </folder>

but if I try to group my context menu items under submenus for faster
navigation, NB does not seem to create the submenus and the entire folder
structure gets ignored, i.e. my nested menu items don't even show up.

Is this a bug or NB limitation? How can I work around it?

e.g.

    <folder name="Editors">
        <folder name="text">
            <folder name="x-jsp">
                <folder name="Popup">
                    <folder name="HTML">
                           <folder name="Forms">
                                  ...some items here...they don't show up,
neither does this folder
                           </folder>
                           <folder name="Containers">
                                  ...some other items here...they don't show up,
neither does this folder
                           </folder>
                    </folder>
                </folder>
            </folder>
        </folder>
    </folder> 

I'm on NB 5.5, JDK 6.0 RC, Win XP.
