Update "Source" view with unsaved changes in Deployment Plan Editor, or prompt
user to save before switching to "Source" view
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-350
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-350
Project: Geronimo-Devtools
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: eclipse-plugin
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Environment: Eclipse Europa Winter, Geronimo 2.1.1, GEP 2.1.0
Reporter: Cedric Hurst
Assignee: Tim McConnell
Attachments: deploymentPlanUnsavedChanges.avi
When editing metadata in one of the graphical views of the Deployment Plan
Editor (e.g. "General", "Security", "Deployment"), any unsaved changes are not
reflected after switching to the "Source" view. This might be confusing for
the user, because the expectation is that they are editing a "working copy" the
values of the fields would be consistently reflected in the "Source" view. I
am proposing two possible options (in order of preference):
1. Update the "Source" view to reflect unsaved changes
2. Prompt the user to save the Deployment Plan before switching from a
graphical view to the "Source" view
I will attach a screencast to better demonstrate the issue.
