There are "Generate" buttons in the Project Properties dialog of Classic Applet Project: 1. "Project Properties" Dialog -> "Applets" tab -> Applet AID 2. "Project Properties" Dialog -> "Build/Packaging" tab -> Classic Package AID These buttons works fine when they're pressed first time, and AID is re-generated. Any further pressing on these buttons don't cause any effect on the AID value.
Actually, it works every time, it's just always producing the same result :-) Not sure whether to rewrite it, or rename it. Basically it just uses an algorithm to hash package and class names into something reasonable; it's intended to be more like "I don't like the one I have, give me one that's definitely spec compliant and will work". I suppose it *could* randomize it; the thinking here was that package and class names are likely to be unique, so hashing using them made sense. (BTW, the RID part is set globally - randomly generated on first use - and can be changed in Tools | Options).
Fixed in main/ f689efeb3787
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200912041400* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/f689efeb3787 User: tboudreau@netbeans.org Log: #178015 - actually generate a randomized AID if the user clicks multiple times, try hashing first
