Re: [iam-dev] Behavior of POM Editor on Validation
I just tried saving an invalid URL and I think the validation strategy I used won't let it be saved. =) I'll tinker with it a bit more and see what I can come up with.
Right now, I just put the validation classes in one package under org.eclipse.iam.pomeditor.components.validation. But I can move it once we've decided where to put them.

I would let the user save whatever he wants (for example, you can save a java file even if it does not compile).
Regarding validation... all the checks that can be put in place will improve user experience, so I would check everything that we can quickly check.
BTW: It would be useful to have the validators as reusable components (maybe in maven.core, suggestions are welcome). For instance, groupId and artifactId are used in the new maven project wizard and are (currently) not validated.

    Hi,

    I'm looking into cleaning up the validation pop-ups that I
    initially put for URL text fields.  I might do some more
    validation for a few more text fields too.

    The old scenario used to show a pop up window when the URL doesn't
    start with the proper text( http://, https:// etc.), which I admit
    is not too elegant.

    Abel directed me to this site that has a more cleaner method:
    http://toedter.com/blog/?p=36
    where a little red X will be displayed beside the text field when
    the text field contains invalid input.  My next question is this:
     Once the little red x is shown, do we allow the user to save the
    changes done to the POM Editor?  Or do we force the user to enter
    valid input and only allow the user to save once everything passes
    validation?

    Another question I have is, aside from URL, are there any other
    text fields that we might need to validate?  Like email, group ID,
    artifact ID, etc.?

    thanks,
    Korina
