Description Sebastian Proksch

I think it would be a nice enhancement, if the contextmenu for the package explorer would be context-sensitiv with respect to the presence/absence of the recommenders nature.

At the moment the only entry is "add/remove nature", the text could switch between "add nature" and "remove nature", according to the state of the project.

A later use for this could be to hide/disable options from the context menu, that only make sense for nature-enabled projects. As another benefit the user is able to discover the nature status just by rigth-clicking the project, instead of looking into the projects properties... (compare the "Team" entry for SVN enabled projects)

Surely this is common sense, I just wrote it down for the sake of completeness :)

Hi Sebastian,

you're right. This should be changed. We will schedule this for next release.

Thanks,
Marcel

Proposed a fix in master. Action shows one of three different labels now:

if all selected projects possess recommenders nature:
 "Remove Recommenders Nature"

if no selected project possesses recommenders nature:
 "Add Recommenders Nature"

if mixture of projects that possess and don't possess recommenders nature are selected:
 "Flip Recommenders Nature"

Does this meet your expectation? Are the labels clear? Other suggestions? :D
Please set to verified if you are good with this proposal.
