Shahad Ahmed updated JBRULES-1968:
----------------------------------
Attachment: drools_eclipse_edit_menu.JPG
Essentially what I am seeing is that the Cut, Copy and Paste options are not disabled in
the Edit menu of an Eclipse RuleFlow Editor when a ruleflow node is currently selected.
I've attached a partial screenshot (drools_eclipse_edit_menu.jpg) that shows a
selected action node in a RuleFlow editor and the fact that in the Edit menu the Cut, Copy
and Paste options are available instead of being disabled.
This is observed under the following setup:
I'm using the official set of Drools 5.0.0.M5 IDE Eclipse 3.4 plugins downloaded
directly from the JBoss Drools Download page.
Windows XP Professional SP3,
Eclipse Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700
Sun JDK 1.5.0_15
To reproduce:
1. Create a new ruleflow file within a Drools Eclipse project. E.g. with a start, action
and end node in the flow.
2. Select the action node you created in the ruleflow editor.
3. Click on the Edit menu in Eclipse and observe that the Cut, Copy and Paste menu options
are not disabled.
Consequently, the user gets the impression these operations are supported, even though
they are not (hence the error message I reported earlier in the eclipse log).
Eclipse ruleflow editor cut, copy and paste operations appear to be
allowed but do not work

Key: JBRULES-1968
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-1968
Project: JBoss Drools
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: drools-eclipse, drools-eclipse (expert), drools-eclipse (flow)
Affects Versions: 5.0.0.M5
Reporter: Shahad Ahmed
Assignee: Kris Verlaenen
Attachments: drools_eclipse_edit_menu.JPG
The Edit menu in the drools eclipse plugin contains options to Cut, Copy and Paste nodes
for a ruleflow editor. However, these operations do not work in the editor and cause
exceptions to be reported in the eclipse log. For example, if you attempt to copy a
ruleflow node then you get the following error on the eclipse log:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2009-02-12 13:40:16.843
!MESSAGE Failed to execute item copy
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.core.commands.NotHandledException: There is no handler to execute for command
org.eclipse.ui.edit.copy
I assume the Ruleflow editor is not intended to support cut, copy and paste of nodes as
was the case in Drools 4, and that this is simply a minor bug to do with the cut, copy and
paste menu options not being greyed out, as in drools v4 plugin.
Of course, it would be nice to have cut, copy and paste for ruleflow nodes, so perhaps
this JIRA could be reclassified as a feature request, if appropriate.
