Description David Simonek 2005-04-01 12:28:51 UTC
Currently, we have at least three copied implementations of fast search
functionality in Netbeans. Fast search functionality is the feature where user
can start typing the name and then cycle/see only such string-type items in the
list/tree which satisfies the prefix the user entered.
Places I know: explorers, window system Document List dialog, Java Navigation
(navigator displaying java source).

Ideally, new API should allow client component to just provide implementation of
its specific searching mechanism and connect API functionality to client component.

A bit of VOC from Vladimir.Sizikov@Sun.COM also:
> 7. It's impossible to use regexps to quick-search in navigator window.
>    It's even impossible to use wild cards, like *.

Well, while it is still valid I think, currently no plans to work on this for me, perhaps community could step in.

Perhaps you could take code from the visualvm? There is already implemented such feature.

See visualvm-screenshot.

Set target-milestone of open issue to TBD (was < 7.3, f.e. 6.8), so the issue doesn't get lost.

Set target-milestone of open issue to TBD (was < 7.3, f.e. 6.8), so the issue
doesn't get lost. This time the target milestone is really set.
