For my web application I am developing in netbeans I need access to an image file.
However, using an absolute file path to the location on my computer where the file is located doesn't work.
Hence I tried to include the file into my netbeans project in order to be able to refer to it with a relative file path.
Here:
How do I add an image file in netbeans?
it is claimed that one could simply copy and paste the file into the desired folder of one's Netbeans project tree (inside the IDE).
However, this doesn't work either.
How can I get this file file (it's a png file by the way) into my Netbeans Web App?

Netbeans has stopped uploading files using the relative file structure. No matter what I upload path settings I enter, it uploads only to the server root. How can I fix this?
The problem is just for one project; other projects using the same configuration are okay.
I compared the files in nbproject with a working project and there are no differences.
I changed the "upload directory" but it doesn't change where the file gets uploaded to
I deleted the project and
created it anew.
It seems to be simply ignoring the config.
On my local computer, the path is:
/MyNetbeans/Project
/Source Files
/folder1
/folder2
MyFile.php
/Include Path
/Remote Files
When I upload, it saves the file to
/folder2/MyFile.php
but it should save it to
/folder1/folder2/MyFile.php
Netbeans 12.0,
Windows 10
Any ideas for getting it to upload using the relative path?
SOLUTION: change the Sources folder in Project Properties.
From the Netbeans File menu > Project properties > under Categories select "Sources". Next to "Source folder:" click BROWSE. Navigate to the folder, higher or lower, in the local directory structure which matches the directory structure on the server > OK.
Upload the file and check the server to see where it was saved. Rinse, lather and repeat as necessary.
When I create a phonegap folder structure via the CLI (3.0), how do I open this in Eclipse?
When I choose project [New] - [Android project from existing code], the assets are taken from the platforms/android folder. But I need to change the html and js of the top folder (www). These are the files that are being used when I build the project to other platforms (via CLI or build.phonegap).
Now I change the assets in the editor of the eclipse environment and then manually copy paste the content to the files under www.
Actually PhoneGap project structure and Eclipse project structure are somewhat different. But they work in a similar way. If you want to create phonegap project in eclipse then you have to create html,js,css within asset/www folder. The java source files will be within src folder(as usual).
If you want to create project without eclipse like with command phonegap/cordova create MyApp, then you will get all java source file within project/platform/android folder and html,js,css in www folder which is auto-created. On the other hand in eclipse you have to create this www folder manually.
But project is compiled in a same way whether it is created in eclipse(IDE) or in other text editor.
I have experience in both Eclipse and Text Editor(SublimeText,Vim). I prefer Text Editor because Eclipse sometime creates problem and it needs some extra things like creating www folder and place all scripts,templates,css etc manually.
If anyone whan to go with CLI, then I think SublimeText,Vim,gEdit etc are the best choice for coding.
I want to figure out how can I put a file in the root folder of the project and use it in run time, there it will be accessible.
The problem that I have by doing that (placing the file in the root folder)-is that by default it means:
It is not in the classpath of the project.
It is not copied to the bin (output) folder.
I can’t see how my modifications of the file will affect the run process.
As I know there is a similar mechanism in eclipse that does the same:
The Plugin development project has a file-"plugin.xml" in the root folder of the project.
When you make a change in the file without building the project or copying it to the bin folder the changes take place when you run it.
example:
add an extension point in ”plugin.xml” and hit “RUN”, it will take place immediately.
Does anybody have an idea how this mechanism works in eclipse?
Edit - for clarification :
I am interested in how the launcher of eclipse Plugin development project loads\handles the "plugin.xml" file.
I assume when you say you want to put a file in a "root folder of the project" you are refering to a plugin that you are developing and then in runtime you want to get access to that file. Please don't vote me down if I did not understand that question correctly but based on my understanding here are some steps to follow:
Open your MANIFEST.MF file /MANIFEST.MF, this will oepn a multipage editor.
Click on the build tab (third from right).
This is where you specify what resources in your plugin you want the builder to include in the plugin at runtime. You will notice that plugin.xml is already checked which is why extensions get updated each time.
Check the resource on this editor page for the resource you want to be able to load and access at runtime. Behind the scenes this is updating your build.xml which the internal builder uses to figure out what sources to build/add when building/exporting the plugin.
One you have done that this is how you can get access to that file, you get the Bundle for your plugin and call the getEntryMethod with the path to your file and then open in inputstream from there you can load it as a File or whatever you want. Code example below: Hope this helps - Duncan
Bundle myBundle = Platform.getBundle("com.mycompany.myplugin.id")
InputStream in = myBundle.getEntry("/myfile.txt").openStream();
I was adding a simple file to one of my programs that updates when I run the program with a particular parameter.
The file updated fine, but it is stored in the /bin directory and I can't figure out how to view the file within the editor.
I can see that the file is updated when I traverse the bin folder manually and open it with notepad.
Is there a way to view the file within the editor?
edit: I have a file in the project already but I doesn't update, instead the copy in the bin folder does; Can I connect the two somehow?
Your <project>/bin directory is being filtered from view. Right click on your project, select Show In->Navigator then you should be able to see your /bin directory and double click your file to have it open in an editor.
Alternatively, you can use ctrl-shift-r to open the Open Resource dialog, from the triangle drop down menu check Show Derived Resources, and then type in the name of your file.
The /bin directory is managed by the Eclipse builders and so you may lose your file if you do a clean. I would suggest using a different directory to house your runtime files.
I'm creating a app for nokia using Netbeans v7. I cannot figure out how to add files to the project, such as graphic images. Also I do not see a res folder like eclipse has.
I'm assuming there must be a way to do this

Create res folder in the project folder and put the files in that folder, It's action will be same as eclipse.
