| === How do I add an action to a project popup menu of a specific project type? |
| |
| ==== Generic approach |
| |
| You can install an action into the context menu of _all_ projects simply by adding to your layer under the folder `Projects/Actions/`. Your action should be context-sensitive, meaning it should be a placeholder which implements `ContextAwareAction`; the context-aware derived action will do the real work. Generally it will look for an instance of `Project` in the supplied `Lookup` (context). |
| |
| If you just override `isEnabled` on the derived action based on the context, the menu item will always be present, though it will be greyed out in the case of inappropriate projects. If you want to _hide_ the menu item for all but relevant projects, you need to set an additional flag (available starting in 6.9). |
| |
| The following trivial action shows the location of a project so long as its name comes in the first half of the alphabet: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| @ActionID(...) |
| @ActionRegistration(...) |
| @ActionReference(path="Projects/Actions") |
| public class DemoAction extends AbstractAction implements ContextAwareAction { |
| public @Override void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {assert false;} |
| public @Override Action createContextAwareInstance(Lookup context) { |
| return new ContextAction(context); |
| } |
| private static final class ContextAction extends AbstractAction { |
| private final Project p; |
| public ContextAction(Lookup context) { |
| p = context.lookup(Project.class); |
| String name = ProjectUtils.getInformation(p).getDisplayName(); |
| // TODO state for which projects action should be enabled |
| char c = name.charAt(0); |
| setEnabled(c >= 'A' && c <= 'M'); |
| putValue(DynamicMenuContent.HIDE_WHEN_DISABLED, true); |
| // TODO menu item label with optional mnemonics |
| putValue(NAME, "&Info on " + name); |
| } |
| public @Override void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { |
| // TODO what to do when run |
| String msg = "Project location: " |
| + FileUtil.getFileDisplayName(p.getProjectDirectory()); |
| DialogDisplayer.getDefault().notify(new NotifyDescriptor.Message(msg)); |
| } |
| } |
| } |
| |
| ---- |
| |
| ==== Specific approach |
| |
| Certain project types also read their context menu actions from type-specific folders. |
| |
| For example |
| <ul> |
| <li>Maven: `Projects/org-netbeans-modules-maven/Actions`</li> |
| </ul> |
