Desktop Integration module uploaded

I have uploaded the Desktop Integration Module to my NetBeans update center described (here).

The Desktop Integration module was developed as a part of the NetBeans^TM 5.0: Plug-in Development Hand-on Lab at JavaOne 2006 (Session ID LAB-5106). The Desktop integration module supports the following features:

• Copy full path of selected file/folder to the clipboard.
• Drag files/projects from the desktop to Netbeans IDE to open them. (Hint: Try dragging and dropping an NBM file and see what happens).
• Launch your desktop file explorer focused on the path of file/folder/project selected in the Netbeans IDE. You can tweak the command to launch the desktop file explorer using the Tools:Options:Miscelleneous:Desktop Inetgration

You can download the zip file containing the lab documents here. Unzip the zip file and open the file netbeansplugin/index.html. It explains how the Desktop Integration module is developed. It also has lots of useful links to FAQs and APIs.

DISCLAIMER: This module is experimental. So no guarantees. Use the module at your own risk.
