Apache NetBeansHow determine all available project types?
-
create a new nbm-module using the "New Project…"-wizard and choose your target platform
-
create a layer.xml using the "New File…"-wizard
-
expand the nodes "Important Files/XML Layer/<this layer in context>/Projects" within the project view
-
the direct childnodes of "Projects" are the supported project types of the target platform (see the screenshot below)
The project type can be used for extending the project properties - See DevFaqActionAddProjectCustomizer.
