> Is a compact Java template useful inside a project? not sure if its useful, but it makes no real difference from javac perspective. javac wraps it into a synthetic class and calls it a day. You can put a file into the root package of a maven project and use the compact syntax and it will land in the jar and run if needed, single file run action should work too by now. So I think its fine to have the same compact file template for project and non-project usage. Compact java files don't like packages which seems to be the only restriction which sounds sensible to avoid confusion. > This would be good, but I think this needs more thought than just a template. Have you tried running the IDE with a clean userdir (eg. netbeans --userdir /tmp/test1) and working through the whole process of getting to a single source Java file, compact or not? it works pretty well but NB doesn't really tell users what to do. E.g you can simply drag a folder with java scripts into NB and it will show up as tab and you can work with the files as usual. Or you create something from the favorites tab. (maybe we should open the favorites tab by default on first launch) There are a few traps though. NB scans eagerly, the compact file launcher seems to be lazy, so if you put a file into your home folder (or root folder where you store all your projects) and force it to index its game over. (i think home folders are now excluded but the problem is still there essentially) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
