Build Identifier: WTP 3.2.1 There are some usability issues in the Archive/External Archive dialogs since the only button available is a 'Browse...' button. Every time this button is pressed the selected contents will replace any previously selected archives. Also, there is no way that the user can remove 1 or more archives from the listed archive files without having to selecting only the desired archives using the 'Browse...' button. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the 'Deployment Assembly' properties page of a project, click on 'Add...' -> 'External Archive'. 2. Click 'Browse...', select an archive and press Open. You are back to the 'Add an External Archive' dialog, and the table lists the archive you selected. 3. Click 'Browse...' again. Click Cancel. 4. The table is now empty (the reference to the first archive is lost) 5. At step 3, if you select another jar instead of clicking Cancel, the second jar is added, but the first jar is lost. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 175100 [details] Proposed Patch The proposed patch modifies the UI to have 2 buttons ('Add...' and 'Remove') instead of the 'Browse...' button. The 'Add...' button will open the dialog that was previously opened by the 'Browse...' button and it will not remove any previous elements from the Archive References table. The 'Remove' button will allow the user to delete 1 or more elements from the Archive References table. No new strings where introduced. See attached screen capture with new UI.
Created attachment 175102 [details] Updated UI Screen Capture
I approve of these changes. Note that, while the UI changed, there are no translated strings changed, and thus this bug does not require PMC approval at this time.
code checked into head for WTP 3.2.2
