Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2008-11-27 11:17:20 UTC 
Tools->Options->Editor->Genral has 
Camel Case Behavior 
but it is for Java only
we need the same for C++
Btw, looks like GSF support it as well
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2008-12-01 19:00:20 UTC 
It's sort of a UI question too - how to name a tab where this "Camel Case" checkbox would be present?
Just adding a language combo to general tab does not seem to be a good solution to me since the "General" tab should
IMHO not be language specific.
Anyway this should be resolved in 7.0.
Comment 2 Ondrej Langr 2008-12-02 13:47:51 UTC 
I agree there should be no lanugage-combo in the general tab.

To me, camel case is a matter of particular users' habits, not language. Is there an actual use-case when someone would
want to use camel case in Java and would not want to use that in C++? (in other words, is there a real-life need to have
camel case off for java while having it on for C++ .. or the other way around?). I don't see any, so I'm suggesting to
have the same checkbox acting for both languages.
Comment 3 Vladimir Voskresensky 2008-12-02 15:03:34 UTC 
Absolutely agree. 
Let's remove "Java" from text and provide language-neutral settings property in general editor settings
Comment 4 Vladimir Voskresensky 2008-12-04 16:56:18 UTC 
Jan, can we set more specific milestone than 7.0? (M2 is preferable)
Thanks,
Vladimir.
Comment 5 voidmain 2008-12-09 16:06:06 UTC 
I think this issue needs to be expanded a bit. The camel case support should be IDE wide. IntelliJ IDEA allows you to
use camel case support in all the dialogs including refactoring, search, settings, etc. NetBeans should adopt the same
policy as it provides the a unified experience.
Comment 6 Ondrej Langr 2008-12-10 09:40:22 UTC 
Agreed. jjancura, do you have any idea of what the scope for such changes would be?
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2010-05-01 05:20:13 UTC 
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201005010200* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
