Re: How to configure plugin properties

Hi,

I am not sure what exactly you want to do, but maybe this helps:

Inside your netbeans module - in a subfolder with the name "release" of the 
folder where is your netbeans module you can save files.

This files are automatically copied with the build process of the module. 

In your code you can access thes files by

org.openide.modules.InstalledFileLocator

e.g. 

  File glaRightSideLabelSetFile = InstalledFileLocator.
                getDefault().locate("gla-right-labelset.xml", 
                        "de.orat.gaitlabhd.hdascii.fileType", false);

best regards
Oliver
