I'm working on a module suite for NetBeans. I'm debugging an instance of NetBeans under NetBeans. I'm attempting to step into some NetBeans code and it stops at some java code after having run some java code. Some NB code is shown on the stack as "hidden source calls", as in this partial stack: javax.swing.text.TextAction.getTextComponent(TextAction.java:82) HIDDEN org.netbeans.editor.BaseAction.actionPerformed(BaseAction.java:292) com.raelity.jvi.swing.OpsBase.xact(OpsBase.java:65) ... I have added netbeans-7.4-201310111528-src.zip as a source root. If I double click on the hidden file, I see the message: Source path "org.netbeans.editor.BaseAction.java" was not found. The reason is likely no opened project with this source file. I seem to recall that this used to work. Isn't this a regression? Is there some way to open a project without unzipping the source?
As far as I know there is no other way, the source has to be indexed in order to be opened. So you have to open the project or add specific project sources as a source root (e.g. actions/src).
