Re: File Type tutorial - Action next step

You'll receive the FileObject in the ActionListener's constructor. Just put
it there and NetBeans will provide it. From the FileObject you can get the
File via FiltUtil.getFile(FileObject) or you can use the FileObject
directly and use UrlDisplayer to display it.

File Type tutorial - Action next step

[Peter Rushforth]

Hi

I successfully followed the tutorial on how to create a new file type over
here: https://netbeans.apache.org/tutorials/nbm-filetype.html

I created the stub Action listener/handler. The action I would like to code
up is to run/view the new file in a browser, just like you can do with an
html file with its "Run File  Shift+F6"  right-click menu item.

I was looking for the code that implements that action, or some other clue
as to how to go about it.

Thanks for any pointers!

Peter
