I think that having 'copy qualified name' on file node may not be the best idea. After all, project explorer view is file-oriented, not class-oriented. As someone noted, (simple) name, qualified name or file paths are valid text/plain `Transferables` for a file node. FWIW, the basic Copy should copy a filename or project-relative path to the file into `text/plain` targets, but that's out of scope here. Also note that there may be *multiple* qualified name(s) as the file can contain nested classes, for example. Or even worse, multiple toplevel classes, which is not widely used, but valid. In this case, copy FQN on file node is not sufficient, or may be misleading (copies the 1st or public toplevel class FQN only). The mentioned (obsolete) plugin integrates with the Navigator (which allows to copy FQNs of individual classes based on navigator node selection) and Java Editor (which allows the same by inspecting caret position -> ElementHandle at that position). With a shortcut attached to the navigator / editor action, this could be better approach: Goto Type -> open file (caret positions) -> shortcut-copy-fqn (fqn of found class copied) -> CTRL-F4 (previous editor selects) -> paste. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
