Seen with NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200705311200) 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b06 Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 en_US (nb); Cp1252 1. Open a valid compapp project using the CASA editor. 2. Add an External SU ot the External Modules area. 3. Add a Provider endpoint to the External SU. 4. Click on the external modules name to activate its properties or choose Properties in its context menu. ==> Refer to the attached screen shot. Note that Name is the only editable item. ==> Description should be editable. ==> From a usability point of view, I am unclear why Artifacts zip and Component name are even available, much less given default values (Artifacts zip is given a default). They are meaningless in this context. It is the endpoint that provides the useful information about what service and interface this external SU represents.

assigned to tien, not sure what exactly which properties should be displayed here
The only external module property used in CASA is the name displayed on the editor. Other fields, e.g., artifacts zip, were shown because the same property sheet design is used for both internal and externl service units. We believe this is not a defect, but more an implementation decision. Creating a separate property sheet design for external service unit is an enhancement that can be considered in future versions of CASA.
