| |
| Just wanted to put the core of it here for future reference as this was not easy for me to find: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| File projectToBeOpenedFile = new File(getPath()); |
| FileObject projectToBeOpened = FileUtil.toFileObject(projectToBeOpenedFile); |
| Project project = ProjectManager.getDefault().findProject(projectToBeOpened); |
| Project[] array = new Project[1]; |
| array[0] = project; |
| OpenProjects.getDefault().open(array, false); |
| ---- |
| |
| Remember to add references to Project API and Project UI API. |
| |
| Go to the link:http://wiki.netbeans.org/OpenProjectsProgramaticallyInNetBeansIDE[link] to see the explanation of the code. |
