     <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="intro"></a>Introduction to Project Extensions</h2>

     <p>New NetBeans IDE APIs since NetBeans IDE 6.0
         enable you to add new nodes to an existing project type's logical view, new objects to an
         existing project type's lookup, and new panels to an existing project type's Project
         Properties dialog box. For example, in this tutorial,
         to illustrate these extensions, we extend the web application
         project type, by adding a new 'Important Files' node, exposing the content of the
     project's 'nbproject' folder, as shown here:</p>

     <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/projectextensions/result-69.png" alt="New node"/></p>

     <p>Prior to NetBeans IDE 6.0, no NetBeans IDE APIs existed for extending existing project types.
     Instead, you would need to create new project types from scratch. From 6.0 onwards, you are
     recommended to extend existing project types rather than create new ones. This will
     keep the number of project types to a minimum and avoid a large number of project
     types with very small differences. However, it is still possible to create project
     types from scratch, as before.</p>

     <p>Annotations are used throughout this tutorial to register the lookup extension,
         logical view extension, and project customizer extension. As you will see
         below, the extensions will be registered for the project type
         "org-netbeans-modules-web-project", which is the web application project type.
         Here is a list of strings representing other project types supported by
         NetBeans IDE:</p>

     <ul>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-ant-freeform</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-project</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-project-suite</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-archiveproject</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-clientproject</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-earproject</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-ejbjarproject</li>
             <li>org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject</li>
     </ul>

     <p>Other project types may be available, depending on the modules that are part
         of your specific installation of NetBeans IDE or other application on the
         NetBeans Platform.</p>

     <h2 class="tutorial"><a name="creatingthemoduleproject"></a>Creating the Module Project</h2>

         <p>We begin by working through the New Module Project
             wizard. At the end of it, we will have a basic
             source structure, with some default files, that
             every NetBeans module requires.</p>

             <ol>
     <li>Choose File &gt; New Project (Ctrl+Shift+N). Under Categories, select NetBeans Modules.
         Under Projects, select Module. Click Next.</li>
     <li>In the Name and Location panel, type <tt>ImportantWebFiles</tt> in the Project Name field.
         Change the Project Location to any directory on your computer. Leave the Standalone Module option
         and Set as Main Project checkbox selected. Click Next.</li>
     <li>In the Basic Module Configuration panel, type <tt>org.netbeans.modules.importantwebfiles</tt>
      in Code Name Base.</li>
     <li>Select "Generate XML Layer". Leave the
         locations of both the localizing bundle and the XML layer file
         so that they will be stored in a package with
         the name <tt>org/netbeans/modules/importantwebfiles</tt>. Click Finish.</li>
 </ol>

     <p> The IDE creates the <tt>ImportantWebFiles</tt>
         project. The project contains all of your sources and
         project metadata, such as the project's Ant build script. The project
         opens in the IDE. You can view its logical structure in the Projects window (Ctrl-1) and its
     file structure in the Files window (Ctrl-2).</p>

     <!-- ===================================================================================== -->
     <h2><a name="settingdependencies"></a>Setting Dependencies</h2>
         <p>We will need to make use of several NetBeans APIs. In this
         step, we select the modules that provide the NetBeans APIs
         that we will need.</p>

             <ol>

             <li>Right-click the project node and
         choose Properties. The Project Properties dialog box opens.</li>
         <li>In the Libraries panel, add dependencies on the
         following modules:

         <ul>
             <li>Datasystems API</li>
             <li>File System API</li>
             <li>Nodes API</li>
             <li>Project API</li>
             <li>Project UI API</li>
             <li>Utilities API</li>
             <li>Web APIs</li>
         </ul>

         <p>The Libraries panel should now look as follows:</p>

         <p><img src="../../images/tutorials/projectextensions/add-deps-69.png" alt="Select Project panel."/></p>
                 </li>
         <li>Click OK.</li>

             </ol>

	<h2 class="tutorial"><a name="intro"></a>Introduction to Project Extensions</h2>

	<p>New NetBeans IDE APIs since NetBeans IDE 6.0
	enable you to add new nodes to an existing project type's logical view, new objects to an
	existing project type's lookup, and new panels to an existing project type's Project
	Properties dialog box. For example, in this tutorial,
	to illustrate these extensions, we extend the web application
	project type, by adding a new 'Important Files' node, exposing the content of the
	project's 'nbproject' folder, as shown here:</p>

	<p><img src="../../images/tutorials/projectextensions/result-69.png" alt="New node"/></p>

	<p>Prior to NetBeans IDE 6.0, no NetBeans IDE APIs existed for extending existing project types.
	Instead, you would need to create new project types from scratch. From 6.0 onwards, you are
	recommended to extend existing project types rather than create new ones. This will
	keep the number of project types to a minimum and avoid a large number of project
	types with very small differences. However, it is still possible to create project
	types from scratch, as before.</p>

	<p>Annotations are used throughout this tutorial to register the lookup extension,
	logical view extension, and project customizer extension. As you will see
	below, the extensions will be registered for the project type
	"org-netbeans-modules-web-project", which is the web application project type.
	Here is a list of strings representing other project types supported by
	NetBeans IDE:</p>

	<ul>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-ant-freeform</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-project</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-apisupport-project-suite</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-archiveproject</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-clientproject</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-earproject</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-j2ee-ejbjarproject</li>
	<li>org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject</li>
	</ul>

	<p>Other project types may be available, depending on the modules that are part
	of your specific installation of NetBeans IDE or other application on the
	NetBeans Platform.</p>

	<h2 class="tutorial"><a name="creatingthemoduleproject"></a>Creating the Module Project</h2>

	<p>We begin by working through the New Module Project
	wizard. At the end of it, we will have a basic
	source structure, with some default files, that
	every NetBeans module requires.</p>

	<ol>
	<li>Choose File > New Project (Ctrl+Shift+N). Under Categories, select NetBeans Modules.
	Under Projects, select Module. Click Next.</li>
	<li>In the Name and Location panel, type <tt>ImportantWebFiles</tt> in the Project Name field.
	Change the Project Location to any directory on your computer. Leave the Standalone Module option
	and Set as Main Project checkbox selected. Click Next.</li>
	<li>In the Basic Module Configuration panel, type <tt>org.netbeans.modules.importantwebfiles</tt>
	in Code Name Base.</li>
	<li>Select "Generate XML Layer". Leave the
	locations of both the localizing bundle and the XML layer file
	so that they will be stored in a package with
	the name <tt>org/netbeans/modules/importantwebfiles</tt>. Click Finish.</li>
	</ol>

	<p> The IDE creates the <tt>ImportantWebFiles</tt>
	project. The project contains all of your sources and
	project metadata, such as the project's Ant build script. The project
	opens in the IDE. You can view its logical structure in the Projects window (Ctrl-1) and its
	file structure in the Files window (Ctrl-2).</p>

	<!-- ===================================================================================== -->
	<h2><a name="settingdependencies"></a>Setting Dependencies</h2>
	<p>We will need to make use of several NetBeans APIs. In this
	step, we select the modules that provide the NetBeans APIs
	that we will need.</p>

	<ol>

	<li>Right-click the project node and
	choose Properties. The Project Properties dialog box opens.</li>
	<li>In the Libraries panel, add dependencies on the
	following modules:

	<ul>
	<li>Datasystems API</li>
	<li>File System API</li>
	<li>Nodes API</li>
	<li>Project API</li>
	<li>Project UI API</li>
	<li>Utilities API</li>
	<li>Web APIs</li>
	</ul>

	<p>The Libraries panel should now look as follows:</p>

	<p><img src="../../images/tutorials/projectextensions/add-deps-69.png" alt="Select Project panel."/></p>
	</li>
	<li>Click OK.</li>

	</ol>

	<!-- ===================================================================================== -->
	<h2><a name="extendingthelookup"></a>Extending the Lookup</h2>
	<p>We start by implementing the <tt>LookupProviderImpl</tt>
	class, which we will register via an annotation.</p>

	<ol>
	<li><p>Create a Java class called <tt>LookupProviderImpl</tt>.</p></li>
	<li><p>Change the default code to the following:</p>

	Project prj = lookup.lookup(Project.class);

	<b>//If there is a web module provider in the

	WebModuleProvider wmp = lookup.lookup(WebModuleProvider.class);
	if (wmp != null) {
	return Lookups.fixed(new MyCoolLookupItem(prj));
	}

	<b>//If there is no web module in the lookup,
	//we do not add a new item to our lookup,
	//so that later a node will not be created:</b>
	return Lookups.fixed();

	}

	}</pre> </li>

	<li>Create a new Java class called <tt>MyCoolLookupItem</tt>.</li>

	<li><p>Change the default code to the following:</p>
