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.
This action is needed by the deimos prototype and is being implemented on the deimos branch by the deimos team. The action will add a pull-right menu to the File menu which lists recently edited files. Files will be added to the list from several methods in DataEditorSupport. The list is finite (currently hard-coded to 10). The list is provided by org.openide.util.RecentFilesList (derived from a new abstract class org.openide.util.LRUList). The action is provided by org.openide.actions.RecentFilesAction. The org.openide.util.RecentFilesValidator interface allows other classes veto power over which edited files get added to the list. The expected use for this veto would be debuggers which might not want every file stepped into added to the list. Files explicitly opened should be added to the list (no NetBeans classes have been modified to implement this interface, the deimos team is using it with a closed source debugger). One other note. The action is NOT being added to any NetBeans layer files. The Deimos team has added it in a branding module.
Checking initial implementation into deimos branch.
we need this fixed in promo H.
*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 2710 ***
making this a p2 and a candidate for backport to release55-mars branch.
Removing MARS keyword. Issue 2710 was fixed instead and its porting to 5.5.1 will be considered.
