[GitHub] [netbeans] zeleznypa opened a new issue, #4626: Select project group at startup

zeleznypa opened a new issue, #4626:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4626

   ### Description
   
   Netbeans support so called „project groups“ which is very handy, but when I open NetBeans with not preferred project group, it took so many time to switch to another.
   
   ### Use case/motivation
   
   It will be very useful to have a possibility to choose the project group before whole NetBeans start.
   
   So when the user have more than one project group defined, the dialog window

   should be displayed before projects are loaded (in the startup phase).
   
   Or when somebody run the NetBeans with some argument like `--manage-group`

   > I think it is about to choose the group via UI. I'm not opening NetBeans via cli or change the link to my executable everytime I need to change the group at startup. It should be part of the startup process. Show a UI, if you want (option based) reuse opened projects or open an other project group, also change LaF etc.
   
   I don’t open NetBeans via the command line either. For now, I’ve simply created a Windows Start menu entry for the project group and passed the parameter `--open-group NAME` to the .exe file.
   Keep it simple...

> There is a related issue here that changing groups while projects are loading doesn't work. Making that work correctly and quickly might solve half the issue.

right. The automatic project open after launch will fail if the project group is switched while it is in progress. But once its done pg switching works fairly reliable in my experience. even when done quickly.

That is also the reason I pointed out `--close-group` exists, which will open the `none` group with nothing else loaded - avoiding the entire problem.

NB 30 can start in about 2.5s after initial cache creation (first start after each cluster activation takes longer) - on linux at least. So you should get to the project group button on the dashboard fairly quick. We might be able to put a combo box somewhere for the groups or make it easier to work with in other ways. I know there used to be a plugin which added a project group switcher.

I don't understand the requirement of it having to happen before nb starts. Implementing this before startup would be tricky (the startup sequence is already complex enough) and would likely also make it difficult to use FlatLaf for it.

The more maintainable way would be to add something similar to `--close-group` (e.g `--pick-group`) which would also start with group `none` but would open the group picker with the main window (`@OnShowing`). User safes a click.
