Description _ potingwu 2006-03-15 19:20:11 UTC

Project developers like Creator need the following UI APIs for
improving/customizing their product.

1. When adding a new item, IDE should highlight the new added item in the
Projects window. API needed:
org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.ProjectTab.findDefault(ProjectTab.ID_LOGICAL).selectNodeAsync(newFileObject)

2. To get the default project location. API needed:
org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.OpenProjectListSettings.getInstance().getProjectsFolder()

3. To Set/Check/Update the Recent Opened Project list. API needed:
org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.OpenProjectList.{addPropertyChangeListener,isRecentProjectsEmpty,getRecentProjects,open,setMainProject,PROPERTY_RECENT_PROJECTS}

4. After opened a recent project, IDE should select the just opened project
node, open the Logical view and make it active. API needed:
org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.ProjectTab.findDefault(ProjectTab.ID_LOGICAL).{getExplorerManager,open,requestActive}

Re. 3) There is already RFE for that, see issue #57073. Please provide usecases
for that.

Re. setMainProject - you could use
org.netbeans.api.project.ui.OpenProjects.setMainProject();

No known outstanding use case.
