Hi, im not sure if this is the right area to write this on. I recently decided to try Netbeans 4.0 as opposed to Jbuilder which we've been using for a long time, but basically as there in no advanced file/package filtering it basically it makes Netbeans unusable with Clearcase. Our project vob structure is similar to vob/project/src/com/company/projectA vob/project/src/com/company/projectC vob/project/src/com/company/projectD vob/project/src/com/company/projectE there are actually 20-30 projects on this vob, however to setup the environment in Netbeans i need to set the src as the root project, this will then take about half an hour to load up all the src as this vob is huge and i cant just include 1 package( if i change the src root to be relative, i.e. .\projectA, then i cant run the test cases as it wont resolve e.g com.ericsson.projectA.testcase1. There should be options when setting the source directory to only include certain packages, or at least from the package view to remove packages from the project, but not physically remove them completly from the file structure. I realise that file filtering can be applied in the System Settings, but this is way too cumbersome as i would need to specify every single directory/package apart from the one im using, and even at that it takes forever to reload the packages again afterwards as its trial and error Also, i could hide the directory elements from the view in my clearcase but our project release process uses default config specs which prevent this from being viable. Jbuilder allows this functionality. I would seriously consider using Netbeans if this was implemented, at the moment i will use it privately for small projects. Anyway, hope this is implemented as it would make Netbeans a very usuable tool, im putting it as a defect because its effectively unusable
This seems to be a request for projects...
Under consideration, though not for 4.x. There are several pieces that go into this, as you found: - hiding unwanted packages from the Projects tab - excluding some packages from compilation and other build processes - performing classpath scanning only on a subset of a source root It is the third which is probably the biggest change and which we have not had the chance to do yet. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 49371 ***
