Description Pavel Buzek 2003-03-27 15:09:39 UTC 
Allow to setup the java sources root in template so that it does not need to be hardcoded in 
wizard in case that there it no user input needed.

[More generally it should be possible to setup the whole project declaratively just by writting 
the data into the template. The only think that is needed is to well define the formats of data 
that are used by Java nature.]
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2003-04-07 16:31:05 UTC 
Will do. ETA 3 days.
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2003-04-07 18:30:36 UTC 
Oops ;-) I confused this task w/ declarative registration of external 
resources, sorry. I have yet to write documentation how to register. 
 
BTW - another thought should the stored data be expressed as a 
FileSet, or just an URL, converted to a FileSet upon load ? URL si far 
more easier to write. It's still time to change the format again 
(compatibly, reading the old one) :-) 
 
Facts: there's only one item, fileset is unnecessarily powerful. How the 
binding is read is an implementation detail; the root is bound for the 
java source root's lifetime (less reference points change). 
 
PROs for URL: easier to write and read, saves the settings context 
entry for FileSet 
 
CONs: N/A
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-04-08 09:34:41 UTC 
The URL sounds good, it should use format supported by
ReferencePointResolver.
Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2003-04-16 16:09:15 UTC 
I cannot fix it immediately, but want to monitor and possibly fix if noone 
gets to it soon.
Comment 5 Tomas Zezula 2003-07-22 15:08:20 UTC 
It is already possible, but I want to change jsrc definition from
FileSet into URL to be more simple.
Comment 6 Tomas Zezula 2003-09-18 12:57:26 UTC 
Done
