 Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 6:00 pm Post subject: Project settings - saving/restoring |
 |
|
Hello everyone!
As a NB dev beginner please give me advice what is a best solution for storing customized project properties.
Background:
I'm developing a NB application which uses project approach. Each project should have it's own properties (eg. database connectivity information). I've implemented in a few modules the ProjectCustomizer.CompositeCategoryProvider as a frontend (gui) for the preferences. I've defined ActionListener which captures OK button for each module.
Question:
What is a best solution to store/read these settings for each project (the settings should be stored somewhere in the project directory). Does NB provide such helper methods or should I stick with standard .preferences FileObject and handle it manually for each module ? |

First of all the link(?) was removed in the post. I was looking at the NbPreferences before but I thought that the NbPreferences as in (http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-util/index.html?org/openide/util/NbPreferences.html) are system (all users) or user specific. The configuration will be placed in the ~/.netbeans directory not in the project directory. If I am wrong could someone give me a little hint how to use NbPreferences on the project level ? |

You could create a netbeans options panel or view which uses netbeans preferences.

For explanation i've chosen the method explained in the http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.netbeans.modules.openide.devel/47529 thread. Simply using FileObject and Properties object.
Another approach was using Auxillary Configuration http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-projectapi/org/netbeans/spi/project/AuxiliaryConfiguration.html or getPreferences from the same ProjectUtils package. But this configuration was stored in NB userdir, which i wanted to avoid (whole project configuration in one transferrable place).
NbPreferences is (I think) for other cases (user configuration for NB application globally not per project) |
