Description
Luis de Diego
Can you please provide steps to reproduce. The resource field is always filled in when I tried to create tasks. The tasks creation dialog is provided by Platform/UI. Moving... Steps to reproduce the error: 1. Open any project. 2. Edit a java source file. 3. Click on the Add Task button at the top left icon section of the Tasks view. 4. An Add Task dialog appears with the fields Description, Priority and Completed editable. The not editable fields On Resource, In Folder and Location are all empty. 5. Once the OK button is pressed and the task stored, if the user has the Filter option "On any resource in same project" the task does not appear on the list because it is not assigned to any resource. Changing the filter option to "On any resource" makes the task appear again. Note that it works as expected if you add the task from the Edit menu; I just found out this (I didn't even know this action was in that menu). On the other hand, I can certify that the method described in comment #2 used to work with Eclipse 2.1 and that it doesn't anymore since Eclipse 3.0 (I'm currently using 3.1M6). *** Bug 75368 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There is no plan to work on this feature as you can do it from the editors already I must say that I am rather disappointed that you changed the bug's status to RESOLVED and don't really consider re-implementing this way of adding tasks. As I already stated in bug75368 and as mentioned in comment #2, this behavior of adding tasks via the opened Task-View was actually available in Eclipse 2.1 and it was removed in 3.0. I first emailed about this with Nick Edgar about 1 1/2 years ago who told me that removing this behavior could be considered a regression and he encouraged me to file a bug for it. The shere fact that there are bug-reports about this and that threre are people saying that they didn't even know that the feature was available via the Edit-Menu should make you realize how very intuitive and correctly placed this behavior was in the Task-View. As a matter of fact, when I found out that it was removed when Eclipse 3.0 came out, I was dumbstruck that nobody in the development team cried out, because you are 'using your own product' and I wondered why nobody else seemed to miss this behavior. It is ONE LESS KLICK when you want to add a task and the task viewer is already opened!! Furthermore, this bug exists for almost two years now and since the behavior was available in Eclipse 2.1, I thought that it should not pose such a problem to look up the relevant code and put it back into the current version. I guess you simply didn't consider it as important as some other people do. Please note that I have been using Eclipse ever since version 1.0 was released and I think it is by far the most important piece of software for me as a developer and I never learned so much about patterns and software design from any other software. Only this time I cannot agree with you and I needed to air my disappointment. Cheers ... Jan Actually I marked it REMIND to see if anyone was still interested. As you are we can reopen it. still true in 3.5 This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
