NetBeans Module Update center In the previous entry I talked about the Java File Structure and Java Type Hierarchy modules. I am making the latest versions of these modules available here. The modules include a help set which describes how to use the modules. I have configured a NetBeans Update Center so that you can install these modules. You say - I don't know how to configure and use the NetBeans Update Center!. Don't worry, here is the tip:

NOTE: These modules are compatible with NetBeans 5.0 Beta2 and NetBeans 5.0 RC1.

The Update Center URL is:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/scblog/update-center.xml

To add the Update Center do the following in NetBeans IDE:

Select Tools:Options menu item
Click on Advanced Options button
Select Options:IDE Configuration:System:Autoupdate Types
Right Click and select New:General Update Center
Enter Sandip Chitale's Modules for Name and click Finish
In options dialog expand Autoupdate Types node, select Sandip Chitale's Modules
On the right hand side enter:

http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/scblog/update-center.xml

as the value for Server Url poropetry. Also make sure the Enabled property is selected. Then close all the dialogs.

Now select the Tools:Update Center menu item. You should see the Sandip Chitale's Modules entry in the update centers list. Install the modules by finishing the wizard.

DISCLAIMER: These modules are experimental. So no guarantees. Use the modules at your own risk.

Hi Sandip, Many, many thanks for great modules! I use 4 your modules every day now:

Java Structure

Java Hierarchy

Line moving plugin

Space/tab removal plugin

P.S. It's great seeing you started blogging! :)

Hi Sandip, My firewall does not allow me to do autoupdate using update center. So I'm planning to download these modules as nbm files and then install them manually. Kindly specify the urls for these modules.

I second Elisha Ebenezer, my netbeans setup is on an internet-less network. Can you provide something like a tarball of your modules, or a ftp url?

The URL's are correct.

Just curious, if you have internet-less network how can you get to the files using ftp or http URLs above? :)

Posted by premchander on April 10, 2006 at 03:43 AM PDT #

Does anyone know if these modules work with Netbeans 5.5 Beta

Posted by Ahmed Subhani on May 22, 2006 at 01:35 PM PDT #

Yes. All the NB 5.0 compatible modules work in NB 5.5.

Posted by Sandip on May 22, 2006 at 02:00 PM PDT #

Hi, The project is open-source? If yes, please send me the URL. Thanks!!

Posted by Jocenildo Paraizo on June 20, 2006 at 01:51 PM PDT #

The source code for my modules can be found here:

http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/contrib/

if that is what you are asking. Netbeans is an open source project.

Posted by Sandip on June 20, 2006 at 07:11 PM PDT #

Sir i wanna include all the nbm files in my netbeans 5.5 version

Posted by Mohd Haleemuddin on April 21, 2007 at 10:17 AM PDT #

Sure. Go ahead.

This blog entry is meant to explains how to do it. I am not sure what more information you want. Please follow the instruction.

After reading Headius' blog, I thought I could use ctrl + shift + o feature of the eclipse on the netbeans ide, yet I just do not know how to use this. I have read the well documented help menu, yet what does this feature got to do with auto import organization?

Posted by haebin on May 07, 2007 at 09:52 AM PDT #

shucks, i misunderstood Headius' intention. what he wanted was a 'quick outlook' feature. can anyone point me where to get the auto import organization feature. this lazy yellow bulb really annoys me.

Posted by haebin on May 07, 2007 at 09:56 AM PDT #

became a spammer now. okay, this wonderful ide had the specific feature with different keys. :D alt + shift + f.. hew~~ i really appreciate what you guys do! thank you very much for developing this wonderful ide!!! i just love it too much.

My Netbeans 6 M9 doesn't have "Autoupdate Types" in the Options. Does anyone have suggestions how to install the incremental find bar instead?

Posted by reinouts on May 10, 2007 at 02:48 AM PDT #

Reinouts,

Starting with 6.0 M9, the NetBeans platform has a new PluginManager. The PluginManager can be invoked using Tool:Plugin Manager menu item. The update centers can be configured in (I think) the last tab of that UI.

I guess I need to update this blog entry to clarify this issue.

Posted by Sandip on May 10, 2007 at 07:01 AM PDT #

Thanks! I also found your nb6-only plugins repository. This really does help me on my way in netbeans. (Although I find a "toolbar" with a close button, just as in ff, very awkward to use-- imho it should disappear on lost focus.)

Posted by reinouts on May 10, 2007 at 07:52 AM PDT #

Reinouts,

The Escape key hides the toolbar.

The focus loss will happen when you use the Match Case check box and the toolbar should not hide in that case. That is why the toolbar does not hide on lost focus. I checked FF and the same is true there.

I hope this is satisfactory to you.

Posted by Sandip on May 11, 2007 at 08:37 AM PDT #

I am also not getting the option of Autoupdate in nb 6 M9 neither in the advanced options/Systems as discussed above nor in the plugin manager. I need to download plugins for ruby and rails please help me.

Hi,

I tried to install the plugins.. but it keeps on saying I'm missing some modules. I'm using Netbeans 6.0 M10

Missing required modules for Plugin Java File Structure:
module javax.jmi.reflect/1 > 1.5.1 module org.netbeans.api.mdr/1 > 1.3.1 module org.netbeans.jmi.javamodel/2 > 1.18.1 module org.netbeans.modules.java/1 > 1.23.1.2.2.2 module org.netbeans.modules.javacore/1 > 1.15.1.2.2 module org.netbeans.modules.jmiutils/1 > 1.3.1.2
Missing required modules for Plugin Java Type Hierarchy:
module javax.jmi.reflect/1 > 1.5.1 module org.netbeans.api.mdr/1 > 1.3.1 module org.netbeans.jmi.javamodel/2 > 1.18.1 module org.netbeans.modules.java/1 > 1.23.1.2.2.2 module org.netbeans.modules.javacore/1 > 1.15.1.2.2 module org.netbeans.modules.jmiutils/1 > 1.3.1.2
Missing required modules for Plugin Shared:
module org.netbeans.jmi.javamodel/2 > 1.20.1

anyone has any idea how to overcome this?

Posted by Jason on October 03, 2007 at 07:10 PM PDT #

Hello,
<p>
Java File Structure and Java Type Hierarchy modules only work in NB5.0 and NB 5.5.x.
<p>
Similar functions are now part of standard NB 6.0. Try Inspect Members (CTRL+F12) and Inspect Hierarchy (ALT+F12) actions.
