M1 First the dialog tells me that only the link will be deleted. Link target remains unchanged. But then there is a sentence that All subelements of the selected packages and packages fragements roots will be removed from the workspace as well. I know what happens but I think for a user this is confusing especially the subtle difference between delete and remove. I would opt to remove the second sentence.
i guess we introduced the sentence because it was confusing otherwise :-)
I still opt to remove it. The dialog clearly states that only the link will be removed.
no problem at all :-) even considering the scenario: -folder - file - subfolder on classpath in package explorer you see - folder - file - source folder now, deleting the folder will delete the source folder too - although it's not very obvious from how the package explorer shows things (ideally, only 'folder' would be deleted and source folder retained, but ...)
This is a valid point. As a user I would expect to read a specific sentence telling me that deleting folder will also remove source folder "subfolder" since it is "child" of folder. The general sentence we display right now is more confusing then helpful since it doesn't point me to the problem. So is it possible to give a specific hint about the problem ?
in fact, we should not need this at all. jcore should support deleting of linked source folders and we should then give ui appropriate for the semantics. current message is a workaround for bug 31456 (and the resulting bug 31998) moving back to inbox to re-assignment
No further action planned here.
