Description kslater 2007-11-08 17:31:56 UTC
If a Java file is opened using File -> Open File... which is outside of any Netbeans project, there is no way to compile
that source file into a class file without leaving the IDE and using the command line. This could be supported by a
context menu item on the file's tab in the editor.
