I thnk this was meant for Fred?

In my understanding, we need to add a context menu when a classpath menu is selected,
Open a dialog menu, display all the jars from that classpath in a checkbox viewer for user selection (all of them being selected by default)
There must be a input text where a user can select the destination.
On ok :

• copy dependencies.
• add the copied dependencies to the project classpath

And then what should we do about the classpath container, keep it? I believe we can't just remove it (the maven one would be reinstalled automatically later)

Anything I miss?

The container should be removed since otherwise there would be duplicates.

btw. on copy/add keeping the sequence of jars within the container and in context of the other dependencies will be important to avoid suprised shadowing effects.

What should happen when the user selects the EAR or Webapp libraries?
It doesn't make sense for an EJB project to dump all jars found in EARContent/lib (or elsewhere) to ejbproject/lib.
And for (non-maven) web projects the webapp library already points to contains jars in WEB-INF/lib

if the jars are already inside the project I guess they should just get added as normal jars ?

added initial commit.

missing so far :

• add a browse button to select destination directory
• several sanity checks
• maybe decorate cells in error
• run sanity check while typing
• ...

I'm not really satisfied with the 2 columns so far. I tried to display the complete path of the source column but it was too ugly.
If anyone has great ideas for the UI, let me know.

If just need to show full path it could be in tooltip.

if need to copy the path, provide more details etc. you could have "Details" panel below showing details about the selected line.

Marking as resolved for M4 as the feature is complete. cosmetic fixes such as tooltips, detail panel can be added in Beta

verified.

Reopening to write release note text

Since Maven has not been a component of JBDS before, this feature does not need to be noted.

Re-closing now release note status has been set
