Hi,
The problem when deleting a data source extension I'm describing occurs only in Design Studio 1.5 (in 1.4 works as expected).
I have installed Design Studio 1.5(Version: 15.0.6) 64 bit , BOE 4.1 SP5 on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 computer, and Java 1.7.0_79.
I create a Data Source Extension based on the com.sap.sample.constantdatasource provided in the SDK samples, and add it to a Design Studio dashboard. I can add or not other controls on the canvas.
I delete the Data Source Extension from the Outline tree - and the problems start.
After the Data Source Extension is deleted, if I try to add a new control on the canvas, the new control does not show in the canvas, but it will occur in the Outline tree. The "Reload Application" button in the toolbar is unresponsive.
If the data source extension has additional properties, when the data source extension is deleted the additional property page remains visible.
The only relief is that if I save the document,close it and then reopen it, all the controls are now visible in the canvas.
Sometimes the error below occurs in the trace log and sometimes there is no error :
