Description Rochelle Raccah 2001-03-19 19:17:46 UTC 
A while ago there was some discussion on nbui about better organization and
validation for new packages vs. new folders.  It seems we arrived at a consensus
- I am just filing this so the decision does not fall through the cracks.  See
http://www.netbeans.org/www-nbui/msg01262.html
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2001-03-21 13:13:40 UTC 
I did not pay attention to the discussion on nbui, but this should be solved by
new project implementation. The Java package should be handled completely
differently, then is now. 

I am assigning this to project team and we will try to handle this for 3.3.
Comment 2 Jan Chalupa 2001-05-06 14:24:39 UTC 
Target milestone -> 3.3
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2001-06-07 13:52:24 UTC 
Shouldn't this bug belong to java/clazz module instead of projects ?
Comment 4 Rochelle Raccah 2001-06-13 04:41:51 UTC 
I don't care which module addresses this - Yarda assigned it to projects.
Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2001-07-13 07:56:10 UTC 
As the link to the archive is broken ("thanks" to the upgrade of the
website), could someone following the nbui@ discussion attach here the
 message actual message ?
Comment 7 Vitezslav Stejskal 2001-08-17 22:55:15 UTC 
Currently 'Add Folder' action in context menu allows you to create folder with 
arbitrary name. Now it's upon the java module to add 'Create Java Package' template.
Comment 8 Rochelle Raccah 2001-08-17 23:02:05 UTC 
Does Add Folder validate?  If it is meant to be any folder, it 
shouldn't....
Comment 9 Vitezslav Stejskal 2001-08-18 07:18:17 UTC 
It looks for slashes (\, /) and prevents you to put them in forlder's name, but it still recognizes dots 
in the name and creates tree of folders according to parts separated by dots. Shouldn't I change this and 
look for slashes instead? Java template can then handle dots.
Comment 10 Svata Dedic 2001-08-20 06:43:17 UTC 
Perhaps yes.
BTW that means that Java module needs to provide "package" template
for 3.3, right ?
Comment 11 Vitezslav Stejskal 2001-08-20 11:30:55 UTC 
Yes, I think so.
Comment 12 Svata Dedic 2001-11-19 11:55:41 UTC 
Template implemetned for 3.3. Should we keep this as a RFE for new 
projects ?
Comment 13 Rochelle Raccah 2001-11-19 19:01:25 UTC 
I'm happy with the new template and I suspect projects will require 
lots of ui support.  Shouldn't we close this issue and record the 
projects requirements in the project specs?
Comment 14 Svata Dedic 2001-11-21 07:20:43 UTC 
OK, Rochelle. I consider this fixed for 3.3 then. I will link the 
issue to the feature request for java project infrastructure.
Comment 15 Jan Becicka 2002-04-12 16:13:36 UTC 
VERIFIED
Comment 16 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 13:18:50 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
