Description Matthew Webber CLA 2011-07-26 05:36:19 EDT
Build Identifier: Buckminster in Helios and Indigo

A minor UI improvement:

In the Eclipse IDE, I right-click on my feature project, and select Buckminster --> Invoke Action.

I now need to select a properties file, so I click "Workspace", and am presented with a dialog box titled "Action properties file selection". This shows all the projects in the workspace, and I need to drill down to select the properties file I want.

That's ok, but an improvement would be for the current project (the one I am invoking the action on) be initially selected. The most likely proeprties file location within the workspace that I want is in the project itself.

The current implementation requries me to scroll through a long list looking for my project (I have many open projects).


Reproducible: Always
