I am trying to create a new "Always Enabled" action in a new module (I am building an application using the NetBeans platform). - My Project Suite is using only the "platform9" library. - I create a new module to store actions. - I launch the NEW ACTION wizard. - I select the "Always Enabled" option and click on NEXT. - I create the action specifying the GLOBAL MENU ITEM, TOOLBAR BUTTON and a KEYBORD SHORTCUT. - I click on Next. - I Specify a class name "MyAction", a display name "My Action", the icon that it will use and then I click on Finish. My action is created correctly, If I launch the application it is displayed right with the icon that I chose. Now I try to add another one, in the GUI REGISTRATION section, I cannot see the name of my previously created action in the position sections, I only see "instance from Actions.alwaysEnabled", for two actions it is not a problem, but when I add 5 actions, I don't know which one is which so that I can arrange them correctly. In previous versions of Netbeans it used to display the "Display Name" of the actions which was very useful.
Reassigning to apisupport.
Shadow files probably never showed localized names correctly, that had to be at least before NB 5.5. Up to 6.1 class names were shown, which was still way better than in 6.5. Fixed in core-main #f0bbc7612fe0. Now shows localized name for shadow file, if specified in "SystemFileSystem.localizingBundle" attribute in layer.xml (which is what New Action Wizard generates since 6.5).
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200812110201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/f0bbc7612fe0 User: Richard Michalsky <rmichalsky@netbeans.org> Log: #154113: Showing localized names of shadow files.
