About Extending Skeleton API Implementations
See Also
Once you have used the NetBeans API wizards,
you extend the generated code by using the NetBeans APIs. Several tools are provided
specifically to help you at this stage of your development cycle. Amongst them are
the following:
- Access to NetBeans sources and Javadoc. After
you register the NetBeans sources and Javadoc, you
can access them inside the IDE. This gives you a quick and easy reference to the
API classes and methods that you are implementing.
- Search facility for NetBeans APIs. If you know
the class that you need to use, but not the module (API or non-API) to which it belongs, a search facility is
provided to help you. Once you have identified the module, the IDE registers it in
the module project's projext.xml file.
- Code Templates for NetBeans APIs. For
several common tasks, you can type an abbreviation in the Java editor, press the
registered expansion key (which is the Tab key, by default), and then the abbreviation
will expand to a full piece of code.
