Description _ gsporar 2007-03-17 03:32:36 UTC

One of the reasons some folks feel that we do *not* need
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98133 is because you can see the
information about a .java file in the Navigator.  As pointed out in the
description of http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98133, that does
not work for some people.

But if the Navigator is the only place we can get access to this information
about a .java file, then the context menus should be the same as what we used to
have when the Projects window supported expansion of a .java file.

For example, in Milestone 7, a class's method has these entries on its context
menu in the Navigator window:

Go to Source
Sort by Name
Sort by Source
Filters >

In NetBeans 5.5, a class's method has these entries in its context menu in the
Projects window: 

Open
Delete
Find Usages
Refactor >
Tools >
Properties

So as it stands right now, we're missing some context menu entries.  What I
really want is for http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98133 to get
fixed.  But if that's not possible it would be great to at least have the
context menu entries available in the Navigator.
