Introduction

This plugin can help you to open folder from local system when you select a folder in netbeans's projects window or files window.All you do is right click the folder and in the popup menu click on the menu item "Open Folder" I use to use a plugin named "explore from here" to do the same work,but I found I could not install it into netbeans 6.0,so I wrote a new plugin named "open folder" for me to realize the same function but may be more simple. What I had done is very simple,just use netbeans ide to create a plugin project and write only one sentence: "Desktop.getDesktop().browse(c.getPrimaryFile().getURL().toURI());" . Since class Desktop is added after java 1.6,we can only use the plugin on jdk1.6 or later you can see the mainly code here: " package zapp.app.netbeans.module.openfolder; import java.awt.Desktop; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URISyntaxException; import org.openide.filesystems.FileStateInvalidException; import org.openide.loaders.DataObject; import org.openide.nodes.Node; import org.openide.util.HelpCtx; import org.openide.util.NbBundle; import org.openide.util.actions.CookieAction; public final class OpenFolderAction extends CookieAction { protected void performAction(Node[] activatedNodes) { DataObject c = (DataObject) activatedNodes[0].getCookie(DataObject.class); try { // TODO use c Desktop.getDesktop().browse(c.getPrimaryFile().getURL().toURI()); } catch (FileStateInvalidException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } catch (URISyntaxException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } protected int mode() { return CookieAction.MODE_EXACTLY_ONE; } public String getName() { return NbBundle.getMessage(OpenFolderAction.class, "CTL_OpenFolderAction"); } protected Class[] cookieClasses() { return new Class[] { DataObject.class }; } protected void initialize() { super.initialize(); // see org.openide.util.actions.SystemAction.iconResource() javadoc for more details putValue("noIconInMenu", Boolean.TRUE); } public HelpCtx getHelpCtx() { return HelpCtx.DEFAULT_HELP; } protected boolean asynchronous() { return true; } } " Today is Christmas,Merry Christmas!
