Improved Server Registration UI I recently redid the server instance registration wizard for the Sun Java System Application Server in NetBeans 5. Lots of folks told me it was lousy (in the 4.1 release) and I agreed. The old UI provided the same features as the new UI, but it did it using about one screen.

The new UI makes all of the features available, but has a number of different screens. We did a fair bit of work to make sure that the 90% use-case [a user wants to register a default instance from the installation directory's domains] could be a single screen process.

One other change that we made was to allow users to create a personal instance "any where" at "any time". So, the advice here doesn't apply to NetBeans 5. (2005-12-19 14:30:32.0) Permalink Comments [2]
