Classpath customization for java free-form project

[vachi]

Hello,

I am new to NB plugin development; this is my first try. Here is my problem.

I would like to write a plugin for java free-form project, that will add and remove classpath (especially ClassPath.COMPILE type, for IDE code completion, etc). The basic idea is here:
http://forums.netbeans.org/viewtopic.php?t=1201

I tried to use ProjectClassPathModifier.addRoots inside a ProjectOpenedHook subclass to do this (at the time projectOpened() is called). However, ProjectClassPathModifier.addRoots gives me UnsupportedOperationException. What am I doing wrong?

What I did is, creating a new LookupProvider, which looks up a Project, create an ProjectOpenedHook for that Project, and return it. Layer.xml specifies the Lookup in the following context:

Hi Jesse,

I have a follow up question on this :
If freeform projects do not support PCPM, what is the alternative ? I am trying to register Hibernate library to a freeform project.

Thank you. I also suspected that this should be doable without writing new module, but no-one replied me on the previous post, so I think might be easier to try my own idea this way. Of couse it was not as easy as I thought

Thanks! It works!

Here is what I did, just in case someone want to do something like me:

Create a properties file like:

Hi Jesse,

I have one more question on this :

How to register predefined libraries such as MySQL db driver such that the freeform project can be transported to other systems ?
The freeform project properties dialog accepts only absolute jar and folder paths. So if say I register MySQL driver jar file on a system programmatically (in which case, the absolute path of the jar including the NetBeans installation path is registered) and transport to another system with another NetBeans installation setup, then would this freeform project be unusable ?

I am trying to register Hibernate Library (which is registered as part of 'hibernatelib' module) to a freeform project.

Thanks,

Hi Jesse Thanks for the reply. But why two properties file ?


And,
Can I add classpaths directly in the project.xml ?
In project.xml - >
<java-data>
...
<compilation-unit>
<package-root>
..
<classpath mode="compile">/work/home/netbeans6.5beta/java2/modules/ext/hibernate/hibernate3.jar</classpath>


And can I use JavaFreeformProjectGenerator for reading/writing project.xml to do this ?


Thanks,
-Vadiraj

Typo : read JavaProjectGenerator instead of JavaFreeformProjectGenerator

Thanks for your reply. That's pretty bad. I will file an RFE (I will also check the sources maybe I can implement it myself).
But is there any way to compare current working copy with revision n? (I know only how to compare it to the head revision).

Also thanks for your kind information. I like your blog very much because of its interesting topics. i'm student and preparing for my exam of testking 1Y0-A09 for attaining the certification. Although it is not hard to get certified but it keeps me busy. I've also attained certification of another course of testking 70-443 which I had passed last three months back. Also I am trying to complete my pending thesis project of testking 1z0-042 which I'm sure will be completed soon. I normally search on topics which you described on your blog these are great and really informative. Thanks for beneficial thread.
