This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I am receiving more and more .nps files via email or IZ. I'd like to associate NetBeans as the default viewer for these files, and just click on them in the browser or email client and open them. However this does not seem possible right now. Probably there is a missing File Type that would handle these files.
FYI, you can use VisualVM to easily open the snapshots (visualvm --openfile: http://blogs.sun.com/nbprofiler/entry/new_commandline_options_in_visualvm). *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 88870 ***
