possibly naive question
Hi,
This might be a dumb question: does Netbeans have an external API (e.g.
REST) that would allow a remote program to direct Netbeans to open a file
at a given line number? I have a program that does some analysis on
application source code and then needs to let the user edit some specific
source files using whatever their favorite IDE. If possible, I’d like to
avoid writing my app as a plugin for each IDE.
I’m not sure if this is actually the right mailing list to ask this
question. Feel free to point me to another if it’s not.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Scott- thanks a bunch - that did it! I’m ashamed to admit that I
didn’t really think to look inside the app package :-(

Have you tried digging into the app bundle and using the same command a
given before:
/Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\
11.3.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/bin/netbeans --open
file1[:line1]...

Re: possibly naive question
Posted by Thomas Wolf <tj...@gmail.com>.
Hi again,
You wouldn’t happen to know how to do this on Mac, would you? I tried this:
open -a /Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\ 11.3.app --args
--open $PWD/try1.xml
But this has two effects, depending on whether Netbeans is already running:
if it is, Netbeans simply comes to the foreground, but the file is not
opened. If Netbeans wasn’t running, it starts up and immediately quits
again.
Any further info much appreciated.

Yes. It uses the existing opened instance if it's running.

Greetings,
There is an important delta between "remote" and "external".
There is rather large delta between "locally and by me" and "locally and not
by me" as well.

Hey, thanks Lazlo - will that use a currently running netbeans if it’s running? If so, this is good enough for me! Sorry for the poor wording - when I said “remote” I should have said “external” (like outside the netbeans process/jvm)
Thanks a bunch!

I do not know what and how the "remote" part would work, but you can do
from CLI:
netbeans --open file1[:line1]...

I don’t know. But when I say “API”, I mean it in a loose sense: eg in many OS file types can associated with an application so that when you double-click on it, that file is opened. In some cases without another instance of the application getting started. The passing of the file name to the app is a kind of API.

I would, but I miss my Amiga with ARexx :-)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARexx
Or AppleScript on macOS: “tell application ‘NetBeans’ open project ‘HelloWorld’”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript
Scriptable applications can be very powerful. I’m not sure REST is the right mechanism, but the idea is sound.

Greetings,
I must ask if there are other IDEs which do have such APIs enabled by default.
I wouldn't want something like that to be available (by default) on *any* IDE
that I use.
