This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Issue: A participant opens the NFT wizard, reads template descriptions and cancels the wizard. Invokes the open project dialog, navigates to the source directory and cancels the dialog. Then again invokes the wizard and chooses a correct template. Analysis: This is a communication problem. The text in the wizard does not make it obvious enough that it is the right place to be. Recommendation(s): Go over wizard text and action names. This problem could also be attributed to user haste.
Issue: A Participant assumes the home directory text field is a place where he should specify the location of existing sources. Probably means he equals the project home with sources home. Analysis: Communication problem Recommendation(s): Change text label to more accurately describe what the 'Home Directory' is for.
Issue: User builds a project with a project dependency on another project, but is not sure that both projects are built, when reading the build output. Analysis: Communication issue. Recommendation(s): Clarify output -if the dependency does not need to be built then the output window should indicate that it is up to date.
Issue: A build output says it compiled a method. Also a menu item says it compiles a method. Analysis: UI Bug. Recommendation(s): Fix the language.
Issue: No feedback is printed into the output window about started or finished execution. Especially if user code doesn't prints anything into the output window. Analysis: UI Bug Recommendation(s): Improve output window feedback.
Issue: A participant selected a wrong template in the new resource wizard. Analysis: Communication issue -the names of things, especially concepts particular to the NetBeans need to be very clear and obvious at a glance. Recommendation(s): Go over naming and other visual cues.
Issue: A participant adds the java class library as a resource to runtime class path of run profile. He points to ".../anagram- lib/src" directory. Analysis: The participant may not have completely understood the task and drawn the connection between adding the Output of a different project as the best way to proceed. Instead the participant tried to add the sources which is reasonable given that the class files are currently left in place with the sources. Recommendation(s): Go over wording.
