Description Mariano Eloy Fernández Osca CLA 2008-07-09 02:24:28 EDT 
Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Locate a java class in the Package Explorer
2. Right-click, Copy Qualified Name
3. Paste it. The result is a slashed path instead of some.package.Classname


More information:
I don't recall this behaviour on Europa releases.
Comment 1 Frederic Fusier CLA 2008-07-09 06:05:53 EDT 
It seems that neither IType.getFullyQualifiedName(...) nor IType.getTypeQualifiedName(...) methods are called while doing this action.
Move to JDT/UI to investigate further...
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2008-07-09 07:04:42 EDT 
Cannot reproduce using R3.4. Make sure you select a type and not the *.java resource.
Comment 3 Mariano Eloy Fernández Osca CLA 2008-07-10 02:13:48 EDT 
That's correct Daniel, expanding the resource and right-clicking on the type element inside copies the qualified class name.
I am under the impression that I never needed to expand the resource on previous versions, but nevertheless, it works fine this way.

> am under the impression that I never needed to expand
Mariano, you're of course right ;-) We added this feature for people that need the full path of the resource (*.java file, but also folders).

Comment 8 Lars Vogel CLA 2015-06-18 04:23:19 EDT 
The label "Copy qualified name" is a bit confusing. I actually never noticed that the .java file is different handled than the C element. 

Good to know, not easy to fine out.
