Hi, I'm currently porting a plugin from Eclipse to NetBeans. So far, this has been a quite pleasant experience, but now I am struggling with the following:
My plugin can open various selections in a Web browser. So I implemented a generic "Open in Web Browser" ActionListener requiring a java.net.URI as context object in its constructor. This works great for those Nodes I create myself; there, I simply construct the URI and add it to the Node's lookup. But how do I do this for Nodes I didn't implement myself, e.g., some of the Nodes in the "Projects" tab? In Eclipse, I would register an IAdapterFactory [1] that knows how to convert from, say, Project to URI. Essentially, the lookup would contain a "virtual" URI whenever a Project was present. AFAICT, InstanceContent.Converter [2] looks similar, but requires cooperation from the creator of the node in question. So what is the NetBeans way of tackling this issue? But maybe I am thinking about this the wrong way. So, any help is greatly appreciated.
