Add NetBeansProjects dir to Favorites tab

Open mbien opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

  • projects dir is now registered as favorite (after user home)
  • fixed bug: when a custom project dir location is specified by setting netbeans.projects.dir, the dir is now automatically created, instead of falling back to the default dir, which gave the impression that the property isn't working

I think this is a good change, and probably OK, as long as it's configurable for platform applications.

Mixed feelings about whether Favorites nodes needs to support localization / branding first.

And a somewhat tangential question - should we show Favorites rather than Services in the default window setup?

Yep, as mentioned somewhere else I think we should open it by default in the same tab group as Projects/Files/Favorites. But its probably something to discuss first on the dev list first?

Might be even good to open Favorites with the first file if we can figure out how to do that.

had no ideas how to easily "brand" this so that this is only enabled in the IDE. Will probably move this to NB 29 (although it would have been nice to add this to the other Favorites themed improvements)

the layer registration moved to nb/ide.branding
