Description host 2010-12-10 12:48:35 UTC

I had taken over an older web project where some files had the extension ".jsp" but were really XHTML files. So I wanted to change this and change their extension to ".xhtml". But this is not possible in NetBeans.

Therefore could you add a check-box "Show file extension" that would allow to show and thus also to change the extension of a file.

(Please reassign if this was not the right place to submit this issue.)

I hope that I assigned it to proper category. 

"host" most probably will be closed as wontfix since there is a way how to change the file extension. Invoke on the file Properties and you are able to change the extension there.

Rename for non-java files is handled by the default rename-action. Reassigning to platform/actions.

Change the extension in property sheet.
