Introduction

Project Factory for simple source structures consisting of an application with a folder that must be named "texts". Contents of this folder will be displayed in Projects window. Project will have several project-level commands, like 'Delete' and 'Copy'.

In the New Project wizard (Ctrl-Shift-N), complete the sample "Samples | NetBeans Modules | Demo Project Factory" and then you'll have these sources:

Make sure you have a folder structure that includes a folder named "texts", and then you can open that folder structure as a project, as shown below:

Note: As shown above, you will have two samples of your project type in the New Project wizard (Ctrl-Shift-N).

Perfect

That works now! I just didn't know I had to add that Lookup API. No other problems :) Thanks !

Follow the tutorial

Instead of doing all of that, just follow the tutorial I pointed you to. You'll learn a lot more that way.

...

Thanks for your quick reply. That didn't work for me ... there are no include lines on that page. So i donwloaded the .nbm and in folder netbeans\modules\org-netbeans-demo-project.jar\org\netbeans\demo\project i found a ZIP archive DemoProjectFactoryProject.zip. So i loaded that project in NetBeans and though it has some errors with Lookups and ProxyLookup when I installed it i got a "BUILD SUCCESSFUL". Yet i didn't find the Demo Project Factory in Samples\NetBeans Modules.

ZIPped Source Code

Do you think you could publish the source code of this module? I mean the complete source code not just the classes but the imports as well. Because I can't compile this module. I can't install it. I'm using NetBeans 6.9. Or at least does anyone know of any open source module for NetBeans that defines a new project type?

List of existing project types to extend?

Hallo,

thanks for the helpful example. I think I have to create a project type from the scratch. But to be sure It will be nice to have a list of all existing project types which I can extend. Do you know a fast way to find all of these project types? I had only a look in the Netbeans IDE and not in any source till now. Especially I am interested in project types with less functionality.

best regards
Oliver Rettig
