Edit Menu

The edit menu contains the following menu commands:

Cut

Deletes the selected resource and places it onto a clipboard so it can be placed in a desired location in the project tree.

If you cut a complex resource (for example, a Folder or a Generic Adapter Configuration), all resources inside it are also deleted and placed onto the clipboard.

Copy

Places the selected resource onto a clipboard so a copy can be placed in a desired location in the project tree.

If you copy a complex resource (for example, a Folder or a Generic Adapter Configuration), all resources inside it are also placed onto the clipboard.

Extended Copy

Some adapters support extended copy. It copies things like schemas associated with an adapter or adapter service so that paste includes items that the user didn't directly copy.

Paste

Places the resource currently on the clipboard into the selected location in the project tree.

This menu command only works if you paste into a location in the project tree.

Delete

Deletes the selected resource. You are prompted for deletion confirmation and whether you wish to check broken links.

Export to Clipboard

Exports a resource and all referenced resources to the clipboard. This is similar to exporting to a file, except that no file is used. It is useful, for example, if you are working with an adapter resource that contains references to schema resources.

Import from Clipboard

Imports a resource that was previously exported using Export to Clipboard.

Find

Displays the Find Resource dialog, which allows you to specify the resource name, category, and type.

Find/Replace

Displays the Find/Replace Resource dialog, which allows you to find resources and replace parts of their name.

If you click the b button, the find operation is case sensitive.
