Description Milan Kubec 2005-02-16 08:13:34 UTC
[dev-200502151900, JDK 1.5.0_02]

Name of the platform under Libraries node is
"Default Platform" in case user is using deafult
platform, but the name is useless, it doesn't say
anything to user, it should be changed to
something more meaningful.
Comment 1 Tomas Zezula 2005-02-16 14:28:13 UTC
The platform nodes is named as the used platform. It is descriptive
enough. Jano what do you think, should I add JDK version?
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2005-02-17 08:09:30 UTC
Sorry but "Default Platform" as name is not descriptive at all, user
has no chance to figure out what platform it actually is.
Comment 3 jrojcek 2005-02-17 12:31:09 UTC
Tomas, is it possible to show the JDK version in the default platform name? Something like 
"Default JDK 1.4.2_05" or "JDK 1.4.2_05 (Default)"? Btw, is it important to indicate that it is 
the default platform?
Comment 4 Tomas Zezula 2005-02-18 10:14:48 UTC
OK, it is easy to do. If it should be so, reassign the issue back to me.

Comment 6 zikmund 2005-02-21 15:04:48 UTC
IMO it is important to indicate 'default' platform -> it means that I
don't need to resolve it as broken reference on different computer
with different 'default' Java plaftorm.
Comment 7 Milan Kubec 2005-03-14 12:23:22 UTC
Name of the platform should be better not only under node Libraries but in
Project Properties as well.

There are tools based on NetBeans which includes JDK, such JDK is then shown as
Default Platform in UI, but there is actually no clue indicating what JDK is it.
I had to open command line and actually run java -version to find out what JDK
is actually used. Increasing prio because of those tools.
Comment 8 jrojcek 2005-03-18 16:30:26 UTC
Lets use "JDK 1.4.2_04 (Default)", which means "JDK <jdk-version> (Default)".

Comment 10 Tomas Zezula 2005-03-22 16:55:10 UTC
Should the name be changed also in the platform manager?
This would make the fix even simpler, but I am not sure with it.
Comment 11 Milan Kubec 2005-03-23 08:30:01 UTC
IMO IDE should use one name consistently throughout all GUI. User might ask "Is
the platform in Platform manager the same as in Explorer project tree?". 

Reopening, since it might get lost as RESOLVED issue.
Comment 12 Tomas Zezula 2005-03-23 08:36:35 UTC
This is what I've asked about, because the issue was reported to cahnge the name
under the Libraries Node and project customizer.
Comment 13 jrojcek 2005-03-23 09:25:16 UTC
Tomas, please change the name in platform manager as well. Platform names should be equal in 
Project window and Platform manager and Projet properties. Thanks.
