Re: module in netbeans app

Hi All

   i know why now, if i create a project using the wizard "module suite", then all modules in it can reload in development IDE. If i create a "Netbeans Platform Application", all modules in there just can't, the menu is dim.


May I know which file is configuring the project is "module suite" or "Netbeans Platform Application". What is the different of these two kind of projects. When i click "run", both popup a new netbeans and i can't see the different.

thanks

from Peter

You cannot enable it. Only if the module you're creating is intended to extend NetBeans itself, will that menu item be enabled. Create a new module, not as part of an application, but as a standalone module, and you will see it is enabled.

That menu item is only relevant to modules you're creating for your development environment, i.e., for the IDE you're currently using.

Hi, i got another netbeans project, but the modules in there have that menu. That project has layer.xml, not sure if i have this file, the menu will not dim or not.

Hi All

    I have a netbeans app and there is a module project, but the menu "install/reload in development IDE" is dim, so i can't click on it.

thanks
