Intro

Adds a menu item to NetBeans IDE for opening the OS's own file explorer

Description

Adds a menu item to NetBeans IDE for opening the OS's own file explorer. The menu item is called Explore Location in OS and is located in the explorer view's context-menu (aka right-click menu).

The plugin works
  • in the Projects Explorer: All folder-type nodes which represent a real folder on the disk has the menu item
  • in the File Explorer: All folder-types nodes has the menu item

The plugin is somewhat similar to some earlier plugins (no longer maintained by their authors), in particular the Explore-from-here plugin. However, the present plugin is a lot simpler and therefore easier to maintain.

If you come from IntelliJ IDEA then the action is similar to (in that IDE) right-clicking a node in the Project window and then choosing "Open in" --> "Explorer".
