Hacking NetBeans: Improving the Manage Groups dialog

In my previous post I tried to show how I’d like to improve NetBeans Manage Groups dialog, in this one I’ll try to show how to.

Setting up:

  1. Get and install Mercurial

  2. Clone http://hg.netbeans.org/main

  3. Get Ant (1.9.3 worked for me)

  4. Make sure you have Java 7 (8 doesn’t work)

  5. Open a shell in your working copy directory to do a first build that’s needed for creating Ant tasks that are used by the NetBeans projects

Projects groups in NetBeans

One of the features of NetBeans that I use the most is the Projects Groups. It allows to arbitrarily group projects together then switch from one group to another. For instance as below, projects related to a lambda lab, project related to the Yoko Tsuno site I help maintaining in a Yoko group, and the default (none) group. Or to switch between a feature development group and a bug fix group.
