===I have a .instance file. How do I get an actual object instance?===
Using &lt;tt&gt;InstanceCookie&lt;/tt&gt; (note that if you have an entire folder of &lt;tt&gt;.instance&lt;/tt&gt; files, there's a [[DevFaqFolderOfInstances| more efficient way ]] to get all of them):
&lt;source lang="java"&gt;
DataObject dob = DataObject.find (theDotInstanceFileObject);
InstanceCookie ck = dob.getLookup().lookup(InstanceCookie.class);
MyObject obj = (MyObject) ck.instanceCreate();
&lt;/source&gt;
(you can and should call &lt;code&gt;ck.instanceClass()&lt;/code&gt; to ensure the type cast is correct ahead of time)
====Alternative:====
&lt;source lang="java"&gt;
T obj=FileUtil.getConfigObject("Actions/Window/org-foo-B.instance", T.class)
//for example:
Action action=FileUtil.getConfigObject("Actions/Window/org-netbeans-core-windows-actions-ResetWindowsAction.instance", Action.class)
&lt;/source&gt;</text>
