Module Project Properties Dialog Box: Display

You open the Module Project Properties dialog box by right-clicking a module project and choosing Properties.

The Display page lets you add display information, which is written to the localizing bundle (the Bundle.properties file):

Element Description

Display Name

Sets OpenIDE-Module-Name in the localizing bundle, which determines the module's display name in the IDE.

Display Category

Sets OpenIDE-Module-Display-Category. This determines where the module will be displayed in the Plugins manager. Choices include all the OpenIDE-Module-Display-Categorys made available by other modules.

Short Desciption

Sets OpenIDE-Module-Short-Description.

Long Desciption

Sets OpenIDE-Module-Short-Description.

Show in Plugins manager

Sets AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client in the module's manifest file. By default, the plugin will be shown in the Plugins manager and AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client is not set in the manifest file. However, if a module serves to support another module, you may select this option, which will result in the plugin being hidden. When the user installs the main module, the supporting hidden modules will also be installed.
