[m2e-users] default name template in import wizzard

[erik petzold <erik.petzold@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

while searching for a solution to my problem, I already found a feature request in bugzilla, which is exactly describing what I want. Unfortunately it is closed without a solution:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351156

When checking out maven projects from a repository or importing them from file System, we always open the "advanced" area und set the name template to "[groupId].[artifactId]".

Like proposed in the bug, I also first looked at the preferences (comments say that nobody will take a look there, but thats what the preferences are made for?). Another solution would be to add a checkbox "save as default" next to the field.

In the comments there are suggestions to redesign the dialog, which I liked, too. It is strange, that there is the collapsed advanced category on every page. But a simple solution for making the wizzard remember the value of the one field would be enough to me.

Is there any plan to add such a feature? Can the bug report be reopened? Maybe I can help implementing this feature (worked a bit on eclipse wizzards in the past)?

Thanks a lot,

Erik Petzold
