[kinka-dzs]

Hello everybody.... I am developing a plugin but i want to retrieve the file that is currently opened in the editor. I have been looking in the documentation on netbeans API but still have not found it. Anybody has any hints?

Thank you.

Something like this, wandering if there is a better way to do it. At the moment i am getting the path from the tooltip:

What do you want to know more than this? " i want to retrieve the file that is currently opened in the editor."

in other words,

When the editor is the active top component I want to find the path of the file associated to it.

Which way it the best one to do it you should tell me, that was exactly my question. At the moment i am getting it from the tooltip of the topcontainer. Should i get it from a node? how? from the jeditorpane? how? ...

Thanks.

But I'll help anyway. Below is an action that can be invoked from the
Tools menu in the main menu bar. It can also be invoked by
right-clicking inside any editor inside NetBeans IDE. Create a module,
set dependencies on Datasystems API, File System API, Lookup API, Nodes
API, UI Utilities API, and Utilities API. Then create a new Java class
and copy the code below into it.

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import org.openide.awt.ActionID;
import org.openide.awt.ActionReference;
import org.openide.awt.ActionReferences;
import org.openide.awt.ActionRegistration;
import org.openide.loaders.DataObject;
import org.openide.util.NbBundle.Messages;

@ActionID(
category = "Tools",
id = "org.show.current.ShowCurrentFileAction")
@ActionRegistration(
displayName = "#CTL_ShowCurrentFileAction")
@ActionReferences({
@ActionReference(path = "Menu/Tools", position = 0),
@ActionReference(path = "Editors/Popup", position = 10)
})
@Messages("CTL_ShowCurrentFileAction=Show Path to Current File")
public final class ShowCurrentFileAction implements ActionListener {

private final DataObject context;

public ShowCurrentFileAction(DataObject context) {
this.context = context;
}

@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String path = context.getPrimaryFile().getPath();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, path);
}

}


Hope it helps you,

Thank you Geertjan, i was doing pretty much the same thing, also i was using JOptionPane to debug, so i think i am in the right way considering it is my first plugin..

I didn't know about the

BTW, I didn't realize how the constructor for a context aware action
worked,
http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-awt/org/openide/awt/Actions.html#context(java.lang.Class,%20boolean,%20boolean,%20org.openide.util.ContextAwareAction,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20boolean)
,
so thanks for the question and Gj's answer.

FYI, here's a few things about the current editor/file. There are a
variety of APIs that might be useful, for example
FileUtil.toFile(NbEditorUtilities.getFileObject(EditorRegistry.lastFocusedComponent().getDocument()))
but usually you don't need to look at the EditorRegistry.
