Description tonybeckham 2008-10-07 17:52:29 UTC 
Currently there is no support to add files of any type except python empty, executable, or modules.  There should be the
option to add more types of files such as html, java, etc.

Please, at least add ability to use "New File" > "Other" > "Empty File" and "Folder". From my point of view this is not
an enhancement, but an issue, because adding new empty files and folders is basic functionality for every project type.

You can add any file to the project that netbeans supports.  I just had that turned off when i had it in the module
suite.  In the current releases any netbeans module can be added through the plugins manager.

Does you last comment belong to this issue? ;) To be honest I really don't understand last comment.

I can add a few "Other" file types in php project using php netbeans edition, in ruby project using ruby netbeans
edition. So why there is no "Other" file type node inside New File wizard for python project?

And by the way, "new file" ui looks strange. Try this:
 - open python project
 - invoke popup for Sources node
 - "New" menu item contains Python Packkage, Empty Module, Executable Module AND "OTHER"
 - Click "Other" -> Oups ... again Python Packkage, Empty Module, Executable Module ... 


> In the current releases any netbeans module can be added through the plugins manager
??? I try to install java+ant plugin (17) into python netbeans edition and I'm still not able to add empty file or
folder into python project.

Sorry for my english, firefox send my last comment without my permission. :)

From my point of view adding empty file and folder to python project is crucial feature >> reopening this issue.
