I've written up a little summary of what editor related settings we have and what I think we should do in terms of migrating them to the normal Tools-Options. Can you please review this? Thank you. ... and here is the link: http://editor.netbeans.org/doc/killing-advanced-options.html Great! Be sure I will help you. Thank you for cooperation Josef I've updated the document and added mockups for the panels in the Editor category. Also it looks like we won't need a new panel for print settings. Can we have another review, please - perhaps via email or this issue?

When issue #90403 is fixed the whole 'Editor Settings' node (and all its subnodes) will be part of a deprecated autoload module and separated from the editor infrastructure. Modules will have a chance to remove their BaseOptions and Settings.Initializer subclasses and remove their dependency on this deprecated autoload. When all modules do that the autoload will not be loaded and the 'Editor Settings' node will disappear. On the other hand we might want to be a little more aggressive and even remove the 'Editor Settings' node from the autoload module. That way even if there are modules using the old settings infrastructure the node will not be shown. Ideas? See also issue #123346. There are no editor related settings in Tools-Options. The work on the new UI spec for Tools-Options is being monitored in issue #137318. |
