OutlineView Sample
The Plugin Portal now provides a new sample demonstrating the new (NetBeans Platform 6.5) Explorer View called "OutlineView", which is a simpler and more powerful alternative to the NetBeans TreeTableView:

After downloading and installing the plugin, you will find the sample here:
After completing the wizard, you will have these sources:
Run the sample module and you will have a TopComponent with this content:
A new tutorial that will result in the above sample will be created this week. It will be based on these two resources:
So watch this space for the announcement of the new tutorial that relates to this subject. In the meantime, feel free to download the sample and inspect the sources and adapt them to your own scenarios.

To be more precise: FileTopComponent class implements ExplorerManager.Provider, but really it is useless since you do not use OutlineView, you use Outline, the pure Swing component beneath OutlineView (NB oriented view): so this is an example for Outline not for OutlineView.
Then it could reside in a pure JavaSE application project not in a NB module :)

Thanks, matteodg. Those bits confused me a bit, in retrospect. I'll have a look at it again as I work on the tutorial.

Updated the sample to 1.2, which removes the ExplorerManager.

Why do you name your sample "OutlineView Sample", if this is Outline sample. Don't confuse people.
Could you show real Outline sample?
