Hello! In the NetBeans IDE, if I go to the "Files" tab and examine a jar file that has some Javadoc, and right-click an html file in the jar file, there will be a "View" action in the context menu that pops up. This opens the html file in the external (system default) browser.
It seems that this "View" action might be starting a webserver and serving the html pages through that webserver, because the URL in the external browser tab is of the form: http://127.0.0.1:8082/resource/jar%3Afile%3A/C%3A/Users/jhuber/Documents/source/java/netbeans15/ProSuite/cond/release/modules/ext/cond-javadoc.jar%21/cond/dist/javadoc/com/stanref/st/cond/package-summary.html I want to do this in my platform application. I've browsed around in the NetBeans source code, but I haven't been able to find this View action. I've found something called URLUtil that is part of org.netbeans.modules.extbrowser, and it has a createExternalURL method. It seems that the View action might be using this. I experimented with this class, but couldn't get it produce a URL similar to the one above. Does anyone know where the code for that this right-click View action might be, so I could take a look at it? Thank You! Joe Huber Standard Refrigeration LLC
