[Netbeans platform] Pov-Ray renderer tutorial
Hello.
I would like now to run the Pov-Ray renderer tutorial using Netbeans 12
with Linux x64 OpenJDK 11 :
https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-povray-1.html
- At first step, the file that are created in the "povfile" module for
Povray File Support are not the same as shown in the tutorial, and
running the povsuite does not allow to open the "Favorites" window as
suggested.
- Going further in step 3 of the tutorial with setting dependencies for
povsuite, running the povsuite complains about missing modules that
cannot be installed, although I have clicked on the "Resolve" button
when setting dependencies.
So I wanted to have a look at the source code of the tutorial wich
should be there :
http://java.net/projects/nb-api-samples/sources/api-samples/show/versions/7.1/tutorials/PovSuite
But all java.net links are now broken ! Could anyone say where I can
find the source of this tutorial ?
And as this tutorial was designed for Netbeans 7.1, is it always
runnable with Netbeans 12 ?
Richard

You’re welcome to create pull requests for the tutorials.
I think this is the most comprehensive resource on the NetBeans Platform:

Re: [Netbeans platform] Pov-Ray renderer tutorial
Posted by Richard <rg...@gmail.com>.
Thank you GeertJan. I will go to another NB Platform tutorial.
I have completed the excellent EventManager tutorial. As the feedback
link is also broken (PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR), I have here two
suggestions for a further update of this tutorial :
- On step 2 that illustrates handling of multiple selections with Nodes :
https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-selection-2.html
I suggest to replace the second JLabel in the MyViewer window with a
JTextArea. If you have multiple selections, the date properties are
separated with a "," on the same line and the label length extends too
much. When I tried to add a new line character after the "," separator,
it was ignored by JLabel and all date properties remain on the same
line. A JTextArea accepts the new line character and allows to display
several date properties with one date property per line.
- On step 4 illustrating a custom date property editor :
https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-property-editors.html
It is asked to add the |swingx-all-1.6.4.jar| library that should be
found in the ide/modules/ext folder of the Netbeans IDE directory. This
swingx jar does not exist in my Netbeans 12 installation. Is this normal
? As a workaround, I could find the swingx jar in my Netbeans 8.2
installation. It would be nice to suggest a download link for this
library if it is no longer included in the last Netbeans versions.

Pretty old tutorial and indeed the sources are gone on java.net.
I'd recommend to not do this tutorial until it's been updated, which could
take a while.
