Description _ gsporar 2007-10-02 10:11:31 UTC
See http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=113553 for some initial discussion....

Would it be possible to combine/optimize some things?  Some examples:

1. If the IDE is *not* being run on JDK 6 (or higher) then it seems the "Dynamic" option on the first step should be
disabled.

2. When the user chooses Web/App server as the target type, would it be possible to just add the "automatic/manual"
choice at that point? This would allow us to skip that step later.  If they chose a server for which we do not support
automatic integration, then this would be suppressed of course.

3. With the current work flow, the Review Attach Settings step sometimes seems unnecessary and potentially confusing. 
For example if the user chooses Application then the really interesting information is on the Manual Integration
screen's step.  The Review Attach Settings does not add much value in that situation.  Actually, as I look through each
of the options, it does not seem that Review Attach Settings is really adding that much value.

4. Could we change the name of "Manual Integration" to just "Integration"?

It is disabled.

Ah, okay, glad to hear that the Dynamic option is disabled in that situation.  It seems then that the warning we put up
later (in the Manual Integration step) that says "Warning: Make sure your IDE is using JDK 6.0" is unnecessary?

Attach wizard has been redesigned, closing.
