Description Navid Mehregani CLA 2010-07-14 10:59:19 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

Under dependency tab of a TS project, users can specify a list of referenced projects and a list of dependencies.  This is a bit confusing and misleading, since the referenced projects are also a dependency.  There is no logical reason for having two separate lists.

From what I understood from Richard is that this was done mostly due to historical reasons than anything else.  This defect is a general placeholder to clean up this page in the project descriptor.

My suggestion would be to remove the list of referenced projects and have a single list of dependencies where users can add jar, zip, or other TS projects.  The different type of dependencies can be distinguished with different icons.



Reproducible: Always

Also, as part of the clean up, the code related to the "Add standard built-in modules" should be removed.
This was put in place a few years back to address "built-in" modules which are now in place thru the "Installed Modules".

One thing to note is that exported TS modules only show up under dependencies list!

Done. If you have any problems with the icons I have attached a separate archive.

Valentin's patch applied.
Comment 8 Navid Mehregani CLA 2010-12-13 10:50:30 EST 
Looks great Valentin! Thanks!
I just changed the label from 'Referenced Tigerstripe Projects' to 'Dependencies', since the list can now hold dependencies of all types.
