Re: unable to look up current project

Hej mcheung,

don't lookup a Project. Lookup a FileObject/DataObject and then use the
FileOwnerQuery-API to get a project for it! Almost every node has a
FileObject in its lookup.

This is the way I get the current project in my plugin
https://github.com/markiewb/show-path-in-title-netbeans-module

BTW: Use a lookup inspector like
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/44971/nb-lookupinspector to see what's
inside the current lookup.




With kind regards, markiewb
