Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200806300101) Java: 1.6.0_06; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b22 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb) - create new project NetBeans Modules -> Module - right click on project node Install/Reload in Target Platform always disabled
It is enabled when the target platform is actually running. Otherwise you can just use Run.
Jesse, could you please explain it more detail. This menu item enabled in NetBeans 6.1, so looks like functionality was changed.
Exactly, functionality was changed. See issue #83968 and issue #63652. Now Run/Debug are consistently used to build the module and start the target platform when not already running; Install/Reload in Target Platform (or Development IDE) are enabled when appropriate to reload the module in the running platform.
ok, now I understand how it works. but why Install/Reload in Target Platform can't now Run target platform if it not started yet and reload module if target platform already started? imo, it will be more convenient
I think it would be more confusing (two different behaviors for one menu item), and there is no advantage when the enabled Run item is already right there.

geertjan, it seems that some tutorials/doc will need an update after the change of the behavior.
@jglick Don't you think having "Reload in Target Platform", as text for Action Menu Item, is better compared to "Install/Reload in Target Platform"? As suggested, now users need to F6 the module to basically install in Target Platform, and the Menu Item gets activated, for reload. So, Menu Item should show text as stated above. What do you think?
Should I file an enhancement request then?
Agreed, it would be better for the menu item to be just "Reload in Target Platform". "Install/Reload in Development IDE" is still appropriate.
So yes, please file a separate P4 DEFECT for that and I will fix.
