From ticket #94887 : --- I recommend that the security tab's "Project not supported" text be changed to explain why the it is not available, and what can be done to make it available. --- When I first open my IDE (5.5.1 RC1 on XP) and get to the web service attributes' security tab of one of my services, it tells me "Project not supported". I have no clue why. I close it, wait a few seconds and now the it shows up. Maybe it should tell me that it takes a few moments to detect security availability after the IDE has started up. When I'm working with a web service client, instead of "Project not supported", tell me that I need to use the @WebService ref attribute and how to get it into my project. Remind me that this can only be done in servlets or EJBs. Tell me any other useful information so that I can make the screen available.
Hey this really should be done if it has not been done already. "Project not supported" does not tell the developer why the screen is disabled. It should tell the developer that they need to have an @WebService or @WebServiceRef attribute in an EJB or Servlet for the screen to be available.
