Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 1 (Build 200709050000) Java: 1.5.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_07-87 System: Mac OS X version 10.4.10 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb) Problem: When creating a new XML document the folder field is empty so the new document does not appear in the projects view and only under the file view. This is true for any new XML type except the loan sample, purchase order sample, and new schema Steps: -Create a new project (java, web, bpel anything) -Right click the project node in projects view -select new->other->xml -Choose a type other than the 2 samples or a new schema -you will see that the folder field is blank so whatever you create will not be available in projects view only files view.
The default src folder actually is there for XSLT, BPEL module, and SQLapp. Still, java app, web app and composite app have the blank default folder field.
This is a generic problem. It doesn't happen on sample schemas because we have customized it. Ideally it should be taken care of by the wizard framework. The wizard shouldn't let create files when the target folder is empty. If they don't fix it, it needs to be fixed in all wizard extensions, which is bad. The same problem was raised with sample schemas. See related issue: 98643. In any case, I'll file a bug on the wizard framework.
I kind of agree with the updates in 115499 and I don't really think this as a bug. I mean this is how it is and there is no generic way to fix it. There was a rush to fix 98643 and we fixed it for sample schemas (just so that some tests could be run) and I feel that we shouldn't have fixed that there as well, just to be consistent with everything else. I'll leave it to the iteam to decide.
Marking the target milestone as 6.0, purely to mark the issue as evaluated.
The new XML wizard is working as designed. Please also see #116567 Changing it to enhancement.
