I recently have to make some changes to the application that I have developed about year and a half ago with NB 12.5 Now I am working with NB 18. Changes that I need to make involve Spring applicationContext.xml file. I need to add entries to <util:map> table. I do have in this file beans definition reference: <beans xmlns=http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:util=http://www.springframework.org/schema/util xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd">
Before, when I type in "<" inside the map, Netbeans gave me a prompt choice: <description>, <entry> or </util:map> and if I choose <entry> it did prompt me for key and value. Now, NB only give me one prompt </util:map>. I am wondering what is causing this reduction of functionality. Was it a bug introduced or it was intentional? IMHO, intentional reduction of functionality does not improve popularity of my favorite IDE. Has it been fixed in v.20 or v.21? Shall I go through paperwork and approval hustle to install newer version or switched to company approved IntellJ? Gary Greenberg Staff Software Engineer
