200402101600: The first proposed change is now obsolete since there's a combo with rendering options. I would still replace: "Show in overview ruler" -> "Show position in overview ruler" "Show in vertical ruler" -> "Show icon in vertical ruler" Actually, "range" would be better than "position": "Show in overview ruler" -> "Show range in overview ruler" . Get rid of deprecated state. "Vertical ruler" is actually a misnomer: Both rulers are vertical, so "vertical" does not clarify which one is meant. The left ruler could be called "Left ruler" or "Icon ruler". |
Preferences > Java > Editor > Annotations has 4 options for each annotation type. I propose the following label changes (also for the text editor prefs): "Show in text" -> "Underline in text" (or "Squiggle in text"; don't know how to spell that) "Show in vertical ruler" -> "Show icon in vertical ruler" (to make it easier to remember which ruler is which)
