Description pzajac 2005-07-21 13:00:58 UTC
Motivation:
For J2se project exists icon when a library cannot be found in Library Manager.
The warning dialog about broken references is show. (BTW the warning dialog is
not well designed. There will be nice to place  inside it the warning dialog
button in order to resolving broken references .) 

There is the same problem for netbeans module project when its Netbeans Platform
is missing.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-07-21 17:03:29 UTC
Desirable but probably not possible for 4.2.
Comment 2 pzajac 2006-04-21 09:39:05 UTC
It more serious problem when user switch to new version of netbeans. Is there
any plan to implement it?
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2006-04-21 11:02:04 UTC
> It more serious problem when user switch to new version of netbeans

Do you mean some concrete problem?

I think that situation is getting better gradually. There are currently some
clues for the user when something goes wrong. I would suppose to file every
concrete problem as separate issue and eventually make a dependency on this one
(take this as an umbrella).
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2006-04-21 18:42:59 UTC
No one's working on apisupport so nothing is going to change anytime soon. In
the future sometime, the platform-handling infrastructure probably needs to be
rewritten to use some more general infrastructure for managing changes to
project configuration, so bugs filed now are not likely to be resolved.
Comment 5 Martin Krauskopf 2008-02-07 17:50:12 UTC
I'm not working on APISupport anymore. Reassigning to owner of the component, so
the issue is not 'forgotten' forever.

Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2008-07-23 16:19:40 UTC
Not a duplicate. Issue #73741 is about fixing module dependencies. The fix-dependencies target assumes the module is
compilable and just removes unused deps; for now it makes no attempt to insert new dependencies for uncompilable
sources. This is about showing you a warning when your module dependencies are correct but they cannot be found in your
selected platform (or your selected platform cannot be found at all). Also if your Java platform cannot be found.

Comment 9 Jesse Glick 2010-07-02 19:36:57 UTC
See bug #123464; the current Broken References GUI is unwanted anyway.
