Netbeans Platform and Jigsaw

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Hi there,

I there some documentation how to compile Netbeans Platform applications
with JDK 9+?

I am trying to understand how Jigsaw modules and the Netbeans modules work
together (or not).

I currently only saw that most JDK modules are added to the module path (so
completely opened) in the configuration file.

Any information? Thx in advance for any input

How to find the TopComponent(s) editor(s) for a DataLoader file

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Hi there,

I am struggling how to get access to the TopComponent of a file editor from
MultidataDataObject.

I register a multi view editor for that object type and now have all the
default cookies installed. However, I want to selette the source editor
view on "Edit" acion and the visual view on "Open".

So I did:

public RosterDataObject(FileObject pf, MultiFileLoader loader) throws
DataObjectExistsException, IOException {
super(pf, loader);
registerEditor("text/roster+xml", true);
getCookieSet().add(new OpenCookie() {
@Override
public void open() {
EditorCookie ec =
getCookieSet().getCookie(EditorCookie.class);
((CloneableEditorSupport)ec).
ec.open();
// TC is now supposed to be open and activated so we get it
TopComponent activated =
WindowManager.getDefault().getRegistry().getActivated();
MultiViewHandler mvh =
MultiViews.findMultiViewHandler(activated);
for (MultiViewPerspective perspective :
mvh.getPerspectives()) {
if
(RosterVisualElement.ID.equals(perspective.preferredID())) {
mvh.requestActive(perspective);
}
System.err.println(perspective);
}
}
});
}

However, the problem is that I open the editor twice and I am not sure the
latter one is actually the active one.

Re: JavaFX warning when building NB RCP with Maven

[Jean-Marc Borer]

I checked the content of the manifest file of module
org-netbeans-libs-javafx.jar

And actually I found:

OpenIDE-Module-Requires: org.openide.modules.ModuleFormat1
Class-Path: %24%7Bjava.home%7D/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar

Is this sequence someting that is expected? The Maven build seems to have
issues with that.

Re: Blank Terminal window on M1 Mac with Netbeans 12.5

I was facing kind of the same issue with the remote terminal.

Re: editing code with char completion

I suggest you have a look in the IDE logs. I got strange behavior in the
editor when I tried to run NB 12.6 on a JDK 8 due to class exception
raising in the background.

License generation strange behaviour "Click nbfs://...."

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Hello,

Since my fresh new Netbeans 12.4 installation, when I generate new files
instead of the expected default license output I get now:

/*
 * Click
nbfs://nbhost/SystemFileSystem/Templates/Licenses/license-default.txt to
change this license
 * Click
nbfs://nbhost/SystemFileSystem/Templates/NetBeansModuleDevelopment-files/templateDataObjectMultiForm.java
to edit this template
 */
p

I have no clue why this happens and how to fix it.

Any idea would be welcome.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] Where can I find an offline version of the nb-javac 2.1 plugin?

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Hi David,

Thank a lot for your help.

I know that there is lot of fiddling around with the NBMs, but for that you
must be very comfortable how the update process works and the NBMs contents.

What I finally did, was to install NB on a non restricted computer and
copied over the required items from the user dir, update center, config of
modules, jars, etc to make NB believe, that I managed to download it. A bit
of a mess as well.

The problem within a corporate environment is to white-list all the
required sites and this is extremely difficult when you get redirected to
various proxies.

Cheers

JM

Update centers based on mirrors are a nightmare to support in an enterprise environment

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Hi guys,

This is bit of a complaint addressed to the NB infra community. When you
are stuck behind corporate proxy that is very aggressively filtering web
content, mirrors are a nightmare for you. In my case we need to whitelist
every single server hosting java binaries otherwise we get empty files. As
such, it is not viable to declare every single mirror (the company won't
accept that).

So my request is: please for NB IDE updates and their core components,
never ever use mirrors or provide an option to always point to the same
mirrored site.

This may sound silly, but is really an issue within enterprises and
therefore prevent the adoption of NB IDE far more than the alternatives,
which is really a pity...

Regards,

JMB

Re: [EXT] Re: Prevent NetBeans from trying to use "keyring"

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Yes. The problem is still there.

My Netbeans dead locks with the Keyring on Win at start when it cannot
reach the internet through our corporate proxy. This happens the first time
it launches. There was already a long thread about the issue in the old
bugzilla. The conclusion was the JDK must be fixed.

Once stuck, you need to change the preferences of NB to force use a local
proxy.

The only solution I found meanwhile is to use those two plugins and force
NB to use a local proxy 127.0.0.1 with cntlm (yes I am on Win at work)).

* https://bitbucket.org/phansson/netbeansproxy2
* https://bitbucket.org/phansson/netbeansnetworkauthenticator

However the plugins are currently only available for 8.2 but as the sources
are available, you try to build them for NB 11.

Re: Debug facility

[Jean-Marc Borer]

Hi Bo,

Not sure to understand what you mean by "possible to configure the setup,
with a source map, so I can see which code is executed when I navigate and
executes tasks in the UI"
There are a lot of unit test in the sources.
When you provide a PR, it is obviously a very good idea to provide unit
tests as well.
