Description muellermi 2015-08-19 12:04:24 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.1 Beta (Build 201508041349)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_51
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.51-b03

place caret onto a "file", e.g. Java class and perform right click.
NetBeans open a context menu.

It would be great to add an "open containing folder" menu entry. If clicked by the user, the folder containing this file would be opened by the system's default file browers (e.g. Windows Explorer on a Windows system)

This functionality is already implemented by QuickOpener plugin [1] which is available via Update Center.

Diego, can you please make sure this works for 8.1 too? Thanks!
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2015-08-19 16:04:42 UTC
Diego?
Comment 4 muellermi 2015-08-20 07:00:18 UTC
Yes, there is a similar feature in QuickOpener.
If this pluging would be updated for every version, it would be ok.
Personally, I prefer to get such a feature directly build in, to be independend from third party plugins.

Hello Jiri, this is the first release that I haven't updated the plugin. Just about timing because I am super busy in this moment. I will update it by the end of the month maximum.
Comment 6 kinka 2015-09-01 21:29:50 UTC
I started to make this plugin compatible for 8.1, can you please advise on how to find the changes for the following packages that cannot be fund anymore? 

Are there some new modules or have they been renamed? I you could give some reference will be good without me going to checkout the code and look for changes:

What netbeans is complaning about is the following:

import org.netbeans.api.project.ui.OpenProjects;
import org.openide.util.ImageUtilities;
import org.openide.util.actions.Presenter;
import org.openide.util.ImageUtilities;
import org.openide.util.HelpCtx;
import org.openide.filesystems.FileChooserBuilder;
