There are already several places where both the code name and display name are shown, e.g. - in the add module dep dialog for a module project - in the platform modules list for a suite project If you see places where this info is needed but missing, please remove the INCOMPLETE keyword and enumerate the exact locations in the GUI. Re. Javadoc etc. - please use nbdev. (Anyway the Javadoc page is not really appropriate for this purpose since only modules with official APIs are documented there, yet sometimes you need to deal with modules without APIs in the module devel environment.) Both the code name and display name are shown when you're adding a module dependency (Project Properties), but not when you come back and look at it after you've gotten a message like "module1 - The module named org.openide.xyz was needed and not found." and want to know if you added the org.openide.xyz module. Either you have to delete likely candidates and add them back, or just give up and go to the project.properties file. Entries in the Projects window do have tooltips that give the complete pathname, but 80% of the time these tooltips don't pop up. (I click, wait, one may pop up or not, I move the cursor to another, hover, it may pop up, but 2 in a row is the most I can get.) The 3rd place I miss this information is in the Project Properties / Build / Module List. Under platform6, for example, I see "Actions APIs" and the tooltip here is "Definition of common actions for NetBeans" Again, how do I map "The module named org.openide.xyz was needed and not found." to something in this list? Yes, you can add more tooltips, but instead of bridging the gaps, I'd just rather that the gaps didn't exist in the first place. As to nbdev, I've already commented there about the inconsistencies on the javadoc page. Sorry, you may have addressed the Module List issue. I forgot you added that note to 65924; I'm still looking at the 1st beta. *** Issue 88178 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
