             Summary: CLONE - when hyperlinked file does not exist offer to create one
                 Key: JBIDE-16077
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16077
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: jsp/jsf/xml/html source editing
            Reporter: Alexey Kazakov
            Assignee: Daniel Azarov
             Fix For: 4.2.0.Alpha1
         Attachments: CreateFileHyperlink.png, CreateMissingFile1.png, CreateMissingFile1.png, CreateMissingFile2.png, Question.png

When Ctrl+clicking on app.js in this snippet:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/app.js"></script>

And the file js/app.js does not exist eclipse just "blinks".

Better if we could offer creating the file, even just a blank/empty one.

The same goes for image and css references, all those would be nice not having to go through the full ctrl+N wizard to just create such files.

*Details:*
Implemented new hyperlink detector which works for follow files: xml, htm, html, jsp, xhtml.
Hyperlink detector searches in text nodes and attribute values for string which ends with ".js", ".css", ".jsp", ".htm", ".html" and ".xhtml". Hyperlink detector tries to consider that string as a file name and tries to find that file in a project. If there is no such file, hyperlink detector makes hyperlink which offer to create missing file:

File '<filename>' does not exist. Click here to create.

Note: name of hyperlink is visible only if there are two or more hyperlinks for the same text region.

If you click on this hyperlink follow dialog will appear:

!CreateMissingFile1.png!

If you select checkbox and press OK, wizard will appear:

!CreateMissingFile2.png!

If you press button Finish wizard will create the file
