Description Steve CLA 2011-12-21 13:12:51 EST 
After adding some buttons onto a layout, I wanted to get to the properties of those button.  The properties dialog is nowhere to be seen.  I have tried numerous ways of getting to it and have found nothing, and I have even searched on the web only to some up empty handed.  It's difficult to work with buttons when I cannot modify its properties.

Hi, Steve.

You've submitted a bug against JDT/APT, that is, the Java Development Tools project, Annotation Processing Tools component.  Your bug doesn't have anything to do with APT, and it doesn't _seem_ to have anything to do with the Java development tools, although I can't tell.  You don't say what kind of code you're working on or what windowing environment you're trying to program in - SWT? Javascript?  Android?  Something else?  In fact I can't even tell if it's a bug at all - what leads you to believe the functionality you're looking for is actually supposed to exist?

I think that maybe you will get better support by posting a question on the Eclipse discussion forums for whatever technology you're trying to use.  If, having done so, you still think there is a bug (with the existing product) or you have an idea for a feature enhancement, please post it to the appropriate project and component, with more detail about what you are trying to do and how you think it should be working.  Thanks!
