Description Knut Radloff CLA 2003-01-23 10:00:20 EST 
The relationship between toolbar items and menu items (view/main menu) and 
icons on menus need clarification. See the note below.

"Working on bug 27481 revealed the need for clarifications of the UI guidelines.
Specifically the section below should be clarified.

Toolbars (above guideline 6.12)
Change "Any action which appears in the toolbar must also appear in the menu, 
but there is no need to duplicate every action in the menu within the toolbar. "
to "Any action which appears in the toolbar must also appear in either the view 
menu or the main menu. There is no need to duplicate every action in the menu 
within the toolbar."

Also, comment #9 (http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=27481#c9) 
mentions icons on context menus. This should be clarified in the guidelines. 
Probably by adding a guideline to the Editors and Views context menu sections."
Comment 1 Knut Radloff CLA 2003-01-28 13:00:04 EST 
UI guidelines need a complete review post 2.1. Incorporate these changes at 
that time.
Comment 2 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:25:25 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
