Apache NetBeansHow can I open a file in the IDE programatically?
Approach 1
Answer from this post:
FileObject fo = FileUtil.toFileObject(new File("test.js").getAbsoluteFile());
DataObject newDo = DataObject.find(fo);
final Node node = newDo.getNodeDelegate();
Action a = node.getPreferredAction();
if (a instanceof ContextAwareAction) {
a = ((ContextAwareAction) a).createContextAwareInstance(node.getLookup());
}
if (a != null) {
a.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent(node, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, "")); // NOI18N
}Keep in mind that this must be called from the EDT thread, it’ll raise a RuntimeException otherwise.
