It would be really useful, if project and editor windows provided a way to right click and copy a class's fully qualified name. This comes handy when we have configuration files which need fully qualified class names. Project window must also allow copying fully qualified names for classes within the libraries associated with the project.
Is anyone looking into this?
Please, do something about this! This is a very painful omission for people coming from the Eclipse world... I don't believe it's difficult to implement this, since you have a lot of other context items working with the class available.
There is a plugin for this purpose. * http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=2753 (old 6.9 netbeans plugin) * The plugin is based on the tutorial http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-copyfqn.html. * i made a NetBeans7 fork of the original plugin http://code.google.com/p/copyfqn-fork-for-netbeans71rc2/, but it is still buggy. So i am currently improving the plugin and will provide it via update/plugin center very soon.

The "Copy Qualified Name" action is now available in the CoolEditorActions plugin. Download and Install from http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/39634/cool-netbeans-editor-actions or directly via NetBeans Update Center.
Resolve as wontfix because there is at least one working 3rd party plugin. http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/42975/copy-qualified-name
