| <h1>NetBeans Platform HTML Editor</h1> |
| |
| <p>This tutorial provides a very simple and quick introduction to |
| the NetBeans Platform workflow by walking you through the creation |
| of a simple HTML Editor. Though simple to create, the HTML Editor you create |
| will be a mature application because it will reuse the infrastructure provided |
| by the NetBeans Platform, as well as several modules from NetBeans IDE. |
| For example, without any coding, your |
| HTML Editor will have a mature window system, which it reuses |
| from the NetBeans Platform. |
| Once you are done with this tutorial, you |
| will have a general understanding of how to create, build, and run |
| applications on top of the NetBeans Platform.</p> |
| |
| <p>After you finish this tutorial, you can move on to the |
| <a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/trails/platform.html">NetBeans Platform learning trail</a>. |
| The learning trail provides comprehensive tutorials |
| that highlight a wide range of NetBeans APIs for a variety of application types. |
| If you do not want to do a "Hello World" application, you can skip this |
| tutorial and jump straight to the learning trail.</p> |
| |
| <p><b class="notes">Note:</b> This document uses the NetBeans IDE 7.0 or NetBeans IDE 6.9 Release. If you |
| are using an earlier version, see <a href="68/nbm-htmleditor.html">the previous version |
| of this document</a>. |
| If this is your first encounter with the NetBeans Platform, |
| you are recommended to work through the <a href="nbm-quick-start.html">NetBeans Platform Quick Start</a> before |
| continuing with this one. If, instead of learning how to create a NetBeans Platform |
| application, you would like to learn how to create a NetBeans plugin, |

| |
| <p>At the end of this tutorial, you will have an |
| HTML Editor that looks like this:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/html-editor-65.png" alt="Final HTML Editor"/></p> |
| |
| <p><b class="notes">Note:</b> Although this a very simple demo application, it is not a toy! It is a <i>real</i> |
| program that supports easy editing of HTML pages, with features such as code completion, |
| validation, and predefined HTML snippets.</p> |
| |
| <p>The HTML Editor that you create in this tutorial is a rich-client application built "on top of the NetBeans Platform". What this |
| means is that the core of the IDE, which is what the NetBeans Platform <i>is</i>, will be the base |
| of your application. On top of the NetBeans Platform, you add the modules that you need |
| and exclude the ones that the IDE needs but that your application doesn't. |
| Here you see some of the IDE's modules, added to the NetBeans Platform, which is its base:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/diagram.png" alt="Structure of NetBeans Platform applications"/></p> |
| |
| <p>Creating this HTML Editor means generating an application skeleton, excluding the modules |
| and user interface items that you do not need, and then setting the NetBeans IDE's Favorites window |
| as the window that will open by default when the IDE starts. The Favorites window will |
| be rebranded so that it will be a browser for HTML documents. All of these activities |
| are supported by user interface elements in the IDE, as you will learn in this tutorial. </p> |
| |
| <p>You will see for yourself how simple |
| and easy it is to build, or to be more precise, to <em>assemble</em> a |
| full-featured application on top of the NetBeans Platform. At the end, you are shown how |
| to make the final product easily downloadable and launchable using WebStart. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <p><b class="notes">Note:</b> Even though it is a separate product, there is no need to download the NetBeans Platform separately |
| for purposes of this tutorial. You will develop the rich-client application in the IDE and then exclude the modules |
| that are specific to the IDE but that are superfluous to you application.</p> |
| |
| <!-- ===================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="generating"></a>Generating the Skeleton Application</h2> |
| |
| <p>When creating an application on the NetBeans Platform, |
| the very first step is to create a NetBeans Platform Application project. |
| The template we will use to create our new NetBeans Platform Application project |
| includes a subset of the modules provided by the NetBeans Platform.</p> |
| |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li><p>Using the New Project wizard (Ctrl-Shift-N), create a NetBeans Platform Application Project from the template |
| in |
| the NetBeans modules category, as shown below:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/new-nb-app-wiz-65.png" alt="New Project wizard"/></p> |
| |
| |
| <p>Click Next and name the NetBeans Platform Application project "NetBeansHTMLEditor". |
| Click Finish.</p></li> |
| |
| <li><p>We'll start by using the IDE to brand |
| our new application. Right-click the project node, choose Branding, |
| and then make a few changes in the Branding Editor:</p> |
| <ul><li><p>In the Basic panel, make |
| sure that you like the application title for the titlebar, |
| as shown below:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/html-editor-prop-1-69.png" alt="Application panel"/></p></li> |
| <li><p>In the Splash Screen panel, notice that |
| you can provide the application's splash screen, and progress |
| bar brandings, as shown below:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/html-editor-prop-2-69.png" alt="Splash Screen panel"/></p> |
| |
| <p><b class="notes">Note:</b> If you do not have a splash screen, use <a href="../images/tutorials/htmleditor/splash.gif">this one</a></p>. |
| </li></ul></li> |
| <li>Now that the application has been branded, let's make |
| sure that the modules we need for our HTML editor are |
| available to the application. Right-click the project node, |
| choose Properties, and then go to the Libraries panel |
| in the Project Properties |
| dialog box. Here you see a list of "clusters". A cluster is |
| a collection of related modules. The only clusters that need to be |
| selected are <tt>ide</tt> and <tt>platform</tt>, as shown below: |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/libraries-cust-1-69.png" alt="Application panel"/></p> |
| |
| <p>Next, click the "Resolve" button and the required modules |
| will be added to the set of modules needed by |
| modules that you have already selected to be |
| part of the application. The "Resolve" button disappears |
| and no red error messages should remain:</p> |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/libraries-cust-2-69.png" alt="Application panel"/></p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Now you have the subset of NetBeans modules that are relevant to your HTML Editor. |
| However, even though you need the modules that you now have, you probably do not |
| need all of the user interface elements that these modules give you. In the next sections, |
| you tweak the user interface and customize the window layout specifically for the HTML Editor |
| that you are creating.</p> |
| <!-- ===================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="tweakingthemenuitems"></a>Tweaking the User Interface</h2> |
| |
| <p>You can keep or reject as much of the user interface that your selected modules give you. For example, your HTML Editor probably |
| does not need any or all of the items under the Tools menu. Similarly, maybe there are toolbars |
| or toolbar buttons that you can do without. In this section, you prune the IDE's user interface |
| until you are left with a subset that is useful to your specific rich-client application.</p> |
| |
| <ol><li>Expand the NetBeans Platform Application project, right-click the Modules node |
| and choose Add New, as shown below: |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/add-module-69.png" alt="adding a module"/></p> |
| |
| <p>The New Project wizard (Ctrl-Shift-N) appears.</p></li> |
| <li>Name the project <tt>BrandingModule</tt>. Click Next.</li> |
| |
| <li>In the Code Name Base field, type <tt>org.netbeans.brandingmodule</tt>.</li> |
| <li>Click "Generate XML Layer" and then |
| click Finish.</li> |
| <li>In the branding module, expand the Important Files node |
| and then expand the <tt>layer.xml</tt> node. |
| Two subnodes are exposed: |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/expanded-xml-layer-69.png" alt="Expanded XML layer file"/></p></li> |
| |
| <li>In the <tt><this layer in context></tt> node, |
| the IDE shows you a merged view of all folders and files that all modules register in their |
| layers. To exclude items, you can right-click them and choose 'Delete', as shown below: |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/this-layer-in-context-69.png" alt="This layer in context"/></p> |
| |
| <p>The IDE then adds |
| tags to the module's <tt>layer.xml</tt> file which, when the module is installed, |
| hides the items that you have deleted. For example, by right-clicking within <tt>Menu Bar/Edit</tt>, you can remove |
| menu items from the Edit menu that are not necessary for the HTML Editor. |
| By doing this, you generate snippets such as the following in the <tt>layer.xml</tt> file:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="examplecode"><folder name="Menu"> |
| <folder name="Edit"> |
| <file name="org-netbeans-modules-editor-MainMenuAction$StartMacroRecordingAction.instance_hidden"/> |
| <file name="org-netbeans-modules-editor-MainMenuAction$StopMacroRecordingAction.instance_hidden"/> |
| </folder> |
| </folder></pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| The result of the above snippet is that the <tt>Start Macro Recording</tt> and <tt>Stop Macro Recording</tt> |
| actions provided by another module are removed from the menu by your branding module. |
| To show them again, simply delete the tags above from the <tt>layer.xml</tt> file.</p></li> |
| <li>Use the approach described in the previous step to hide as many toolbars, toolbar buttons, |
| menus, and menu items as you want. When you have completed this stage, look in the <tt>layer.xml</tt> file. When you do so, |
| you should see something similar to the following, depending on the items that you have deleted: |
| |
| <pre><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> |
| <!DOCTYPE filesystem PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD Filesystem 1.1//EN" "https://netbeans.org/dtds/filesystem-1_1.dtd"> |

| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <!-- ===================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="tweakingthewindowlayout"></a>Tweaking the Window Layout</h2> |
| <p> |
| By using the <tt><this layer in context></tt> node, you can not only delete existing |
| items, but you can also change their content. For example, the |
| HTML Editor works on HTML files, so in contrast to the regular IDE, which works with Java source files and projects as well, |
| it makes sense to show the <tt>Favorites</tt> window in the initial layout. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The definition of the window layout is also described as files in layers, |
| all stored under the <tt>Windows2</tt> folder. The files in the <tt>Windows2</tt> folder are |
| pseudo-human readable XML files defined by the |
| <a href="http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-windows/org/openide/windows/doc-files/api.html"> |
| Window System APIs</a>. They are quite complex but the good news is |
| that, for purposes of our HTML Editor, it is not necessary |
| to understand them fully, as shown below. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol><li>In your branding module's <tt><this layer in context></tt> node, |
| look in <tt>Windows2/Components</tt> and <tt>Windows2/Modes</tt> for |
| the two files highlighted below and named "favorites.settings" and "favorites.wstcref": |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/find-favorites2-61.png" alt="Finding the Favorites window"/></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The first file defines what the component is going to look like and |
| how it gets created. As this does not need to be changed, there is no need to |
| modify the file. The second is more interesting for your purposes, |
| it contains the following: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="examplecode"> |
| <tc-ref version="2.0"> |
| <module name="org.netbeans.modules.favorites/1" spec="1.1" /> |
| <tc-id id="favorites" /> |
| <state opened="false" /> |
| </tc-ref></pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>Even though most of the XML is cryptic, there is one line which |
| seems promising—without needing to read |
| any kind of documentation, it seems likely that |
| changing the <tt>false</tt> to <tt>true</tt> is going to make the component |
| opened by default. Do so now.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| In a similar way you can change the <tt>CommonPalette.wstcref</tt> |
| file so that the Component Palete opens by default.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <p>You should now see that your branding module contains a new file, |
| one for each of the files that you changed. In effect, these files |
| override the ones that you found in the previous steps. These have |
| been automatically registered in your module's <tt>layer.xml</tt> file.</p> |
| |
| <!-- ===================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="tweakingthefavorites"></a>Tweaking the Favorites Window</h2> |
| <p> |
| In the subfolders of a NetBeans Platform Application project's <tt>branding</tt> |
| folder, which |
| is visible in the Files window, you |
| can override strings defined in the NetBeans Platform sources. In |
| this section, you override strings that define |
| labels used in the Favorites window. For example, you |
| change the "Favorites" label to "HTML Files", |
| because you will use that window specifically for |
| HTML files. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol><li><p>Right-click the project node and choose "Branding", as you did |
| earlier in this tutorial. This time, open the Resource Bundles |
| tab of the Branding Editor, as shown below:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/favorites-branding-1.png" alt="Branding the Favorites window"/></p> |
| |
| </li> |
| <li><p>Type "favorites" in the "Search" field, after which the |
| list of strings filters down to those that |
| contain the entered string, as shown below:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/favorites-branding-2.png" alt="Branding the Favorites window"/></p> |
| |
| </li> |
| <!-- <li>Create a new folder structure within <tt>branding/modules</tt>. |
| (In the IDE, you can create folders |
| by right-clicking a folder and then |
| choosing New | Other and then choosing Folder from the Other category.) |
| The new folder should be named <tt>org-netbeans-modules-favorites.jar</tt>. |
| Within that folder, create a folder hierarchy |
| of <tt>org/netbeans/modules/favorites</tt>. Within the final folder, |
| i.e. <tt>favorites</tt>, create a new <tt>Bundle.properties</tt> file: |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/favorites-branding-61a.png" alt="Branding the Favorites window"/></p> |
| |
| <p>This folder structure and properties file matches the |
| folder structure in the NetBeans sources that relate to |
| the Favorites window.</p></li>--> |
| <li>For each string you want to brand, right-click it in |
| the dialog shown in the previous step and choose |
| "Add To Branding". Then type the new string |
| for the selected item.</li> |
| |
| <!-- <li>Add the strings shown in the screenshot below, |
| to override the same strings defined in the matching |
| properties file in the Favorites window sources: |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/favorites-branding-61b.png" alt="Branding the Favorites window"/></p> |
| |
| <p>To simplify this step, copy and paste the strings defined above:</p> |
| |
| <pre>Favorites=HTML Files |
| ACT_AddOnFavoritesNode=&Find HTML Files... |
| ACT_Remove=&Remove from HTML Files List |
| ACT_View=HTML Files |
| ACT_Select=HTML Files |
| ACT_Select_Main_Menu=Select in HTML Files List |
| |
| # JFileChooser |
| CTL_DialogTitle=Add to HTML Files List |
| CTL_ApproveButtonText=Add |
| ERR_FileDoesNotExist={0} does not exist. |
| ERR_FileDoesNotExistDlgTitle=Add to HTML Files List |
| MSG_NodeNotFound=The document node could not be found in the HTML Files List.</pre></li>--> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Later, when you start up the application, you will see that |
| the texts and labels in the Favorites window have changed |
| to those you have defined. This illustrates that you can take |
| a component from the NetBeans Platform and then brand it to |
| meet your business requirements.</p> |
| <!-- ===================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="runningtheapplication"></a>Running the Application</h2> |
| <p> |
| Running your application is as simple |
| as right-clicking the project node |
| and choosing a menu item. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Right-click the application's project node and |
| choose Clean All. When you do this, |
| the "build" folders in the application are |
| removed. By deleting these folders, you reset |
| the application to its default state. For example, |
| changes you made to the positions of the windows, at runtime, |
| are stored within the "build" folder. Deleting this |
| folder means that the windows are opened according |
| to the settings in the application, rather than according |
| to their last saved positions, which are stored automatically whenever |
| the application is exited.</li> |
| <li>Right-click the application's project node and |
| choose Run.</li> |
| <li><p>After the application is deployed, you can right-click |
| inside the Favorites window and choose a folder containing |
| HTML files, and then open an HTML file, as shown below:</p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/html-editor-65.png" alt="Open HTML file"/></p></li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>You now have a complete, functioning, HTML Editor, which you |
| created without typing a single line of Java code.</p> |
| |
| |
| <!-- ===================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="distributingtheapplication"></a>Distributing the Application</h2> |
| <p> |
| Choose one of two approaches for distributing |
| your application. If you want to maintain as much |
| control over your application as possible, you will |
| use web start (JNLP) to distribute your application over the web. |
| In this scenario, whenever you want to update the application, |
| you will do so locally and let your end users know about the |
| update, which they will automatically have available next time |
| they start up your application over the web. Alternatively, |
| distribute a ZIP file containing your application. The end users |
| will then have the complete application locally available. You would |
| then distribute updates and new features via the update mechanism, |
| described below.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h3 class="tutorial"><a name="zip"></a>Distributing the Application via a ZIP File</h3> |
| <p> To make your application extendable, you need to let your |
| users install modules to enhance the application's |
| functionality. To do so, your application is already bundling the Plugin Manager. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Choose the Tools | Plugins menu item and install |
| some plugins that are useful to your HTML Editor. |
| Browse the <a href="http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/">Plugin Portal</a> |
| to find some suitable ones. This is also how your end users will update their |
| local installation of your application.</li> |
| |
| <li>Right-click the application's project node and |
| choose Build ZIP Distribution.</li> |
| |
| |
| |
| <li><p>In the <tt>dist</tt> folder (visible in the |
| Files window), you should now be able to see |
| a ZIP file, as follows:</p> |
| |
| <p><img alt="" src="../../images/tutorials/htmleditor/unzipped-app-69.png" alt="Generated ZIP file"/></p> |
| |
| <p><b class="notes">Note:</b> The application's launcher is created in |
| the <tt>bin</tt> folder, as shown above.</p></li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <!-- ======================================================================================== --> |
| |
| <h3><a name="webstart"></a>Distributing the HTML Editor via the Shared NetBeans Web Start Repository</h3> |
| |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| Instead of distributing a ZIP file, let's prepare for |
| a webstart distribution by finetuning the <tt>master.jnlp</tt> file that is |
| generated the first time you start the application via "Run JNLP Application". Even though it does the job, it |
| is not yet ready for distribution. At the very least, you need to change the |
| information section to provide better descriptions and icons.</p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Another change to the standard JNLP infrastructure is the use of a |
| shared JNLP repository on www.netbeans.org. By default, the JNLP application |
| generated for a suite always contains all its modules as well as all the modules it depends on. |
| This may be useful for intranet usage, but it is a bit less practical for |
| wide internet use. When on the internet, it is much better if all the |
| applications built on the NetBeans Platform refer to one repository of |
| NetBeans modules, which means that such modules are shared and |
| do not need to be downloaded |
| more than once. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| There is such a repository for NetBeans 7.0 and for NetBeans 6.9. It does not contain all |
| the modules that NetBeans IDE has, but |
| it contains enough to make non-IDE applications like our HTML Editor |
| possible. |
| To use the repository for 7.0 you only need to modify <tt>platform.properties</tt> |
| by adding the correct URL: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="examplecode"> |
| # share the libraries from common repository on netbeans.org |
| # this URL is for release70 JNLP files: |
| jnlp.platform.codebase=http://bits.netbeans.org/7.0/jnlp/ |
| </pre> |
| <p>Similarly, for 6.9:</p> |
| <pre class="examplecode"> |
| # share the libraries from common repository on netbeans.org |
| # this URL is for release69 JNLP files: |
| jnlp.platform.codebase=http://bits.netbeans.org/6.9/jnlp/ |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| As soon as the application is started as a JNLP application, all its shared plug-in modules |
