Status:	RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description abien 2013-02-01 02:25:47 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 RC1 (Build 201301240957)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.8.2 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_12-ea
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b28

Currently onSave is able to format the code (what is great). It would be useful to support generic actions.

A possible usecase: hotdeployment of archives to an application server or performing style checks / custom static analysis

@Adam: You could write a plugin for that. The API is public

Sure! But I think it should be a part of NB. Otherwise we will endup as Eclipse :-)

You could also write the code and contribute to the NetBeans sources. Patches are always welcome as I experienced. This way it can be included by default.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
