The Edit Database Server Dialog needs some renaming
NB doesn't use the term Database Server Type for adding JDBC Drivers.

Please check with Dusan/HIE for suggestions.
Thanks!

Evaluation:
It's too late to make any change
Besides this dialog is not just for adding a driver

Evaluation (Entry 2):
I agree that it is late. But this can't be considered as Filing Error. This
still needs proper eval from HIE. Assigning it to Dusan.

We do have two different UI for adding JDBC Driver into the system : One from NB
and the other being reused from Creator/Leopard (with import projects > resolve
db problems)

Same with Add Database connection too. We have two dialogs with different UI :
One from NB and the other being from Creator/Leopard.

I understand that you have reused Creator Edit Database Server Type and Add
Database Connection to provide quick solution to resolving database problems
with import projects functionality.

Evaluation (Entry 3):
At this morning's DB presentation by JohnB we identified a couple of ways that
these dialogs can be modified to make them more like the ones in Netbeans.  We
should follow up on those if possible.

Evaluation (Entry 4):
I'm looking to do away with this dialog if possible for FCS

Evaluation (Entry 5):
The title of the dialog could be changed to Add Driver
but need to get approval from Docs
Comment 1 John Baker 2007-02-28 22:31:22 UTC
Dialog may go away for M9
Comment 2 John Baker 2007-05-17 22:36:53 UTC
a driver dialog won't be used.  Another approach is being implemented for M10
Comment 3 John Baker 2007-06-19 02:45:48 UTC
Fixed.  Now using the NetBeans Add Connection dialog
Comment 4 John Baker 2007-06-19 02:46:45 UTC
Fixed
