Is there anything kind of a bookmarks notes plugin for netbeans that would allow me to write small notes on my bookmarks in the code ?
It also included in NB7.2.
Switch to the bookmarks view. On the left side there is a toolbar-button like "Table View". A table of the the bookmarks with several columns "Name/Key/Location" will be opened. Doubleclick at a cell within the name column and you can create a note/alias for this bookmark.
Look at Netbeans plug-in page for Scratch Pad, it does that but it has'nt been updated since NB 6, it looks kind of ugly, if the link its removed try to look there for another one, hope it helps.

E.g. Komodo IDE has this feature:
Can be really useful for getting an overview of a big file.
Anyone knows something similar for eclipse?
Yes its there. Look this overview-plugin. This plugin shows the overview of the current text editor in the Overview view. Also the tooltip shows the line under the cursor. Also note that you can control the zoom level in overview view.
Screen shots:
The general way of providing that kind of view (not exactly a minified view, but as useful) is through an outline.
For JSON, you would need an eclipse JSON plugin, which has a JSON outline dedicated view:
You can use the Quick Outline feature of many editors in Eclipse to get a pop-up, easily navigable outline of the file's contents. Use Ctrl+O (Command+O on Mac).
To bring up the "normal" persistent Outline View, open Quick Access with Ctrl+3 (Command+3 on Mac) then type outline and select it from the list.
I have quite a complicated code source and I have commented and split it as best I could and created a table of content. I would love to be able to simply click/ctrl + click on one of the lines in my table of content and automatically put my view to the line/link I specified. Is that possible in NetBeans?
You could use bookmarks which are supported by Netbeans. Under "Window / IDE Tools / Bookmarks" you can open the bookmark window which gives you an overview over all bookmarks which can be also renamed. From this window you can navigate via double-click to your bookmarks.
No exactly what you had in mind but a viable alternative.

I use an older plugin called Veloeclipse for editing Velocity templates in Eclipse. There's been no development on this since 2009, which isn't a problem because it's mainly just for syntax highlighting and format validation. The really annoying thing about it, however, is that when I try to do Show In to view the current Velocity template within my Package Explorer or Project Explorer, the only available option is Properties. That's not really useful. I really need to be able to get to the file in one of the regular explorer views.
So I have sort of two questions:
Is there a way to configure this without having to monkey with any code? A configuration file or something? I've grepped through my Eclipse installation and haven't seen anything, but I'm hoping that there's something I'm missing.
So assuming that the answer to my first question is no, how do I go about modifying the plugin code so that it will show more than the Properties view in the Show In menu? Most of what I found on the plugin development wiki comes from the other direction: how to make your view or perspective appear in the Show In menu.
Any help with this would be hugely appreciated!
Try to check the plugin source code. it might do something different than other editors. What I mean is that the show in menu item that you have there is not the usual extension point but a hard coded context menu option.
In Visual Studio, the editor has a drop-down list of functions in the current class; clicking on one will take me to the top of that function. Is there a way to get a similar behaviour from RubyMine?
I suggested this as a feature request to the folks at JetBrains, and within the day they got back to me to tell me about the 'File Structure Popup' on ^F12 which does very nearly what I want; it's an extra keypress but I can live with it.
If you're working on a Rails project, change the project view to Rails (change the View as: dropdown value)
Online help is here.
It looks like this is as close as it gets to the functionality you're looking for.
Ctrl+0 key in editor will show all methods with search capacity.
The same is drop-down menu Navigate -> File structure.
I'm using the standard Visual Studio deployment project and want to remove the text in the banner (the text that says "Welcome to the Your Project Setup Wizard".
I want to remove it because I want a custom banner and don't want the text written over the banner.
I can't see any properties in VS to allow this. Can it be done without prodding around in the .MSI?
Cheers,
Steve
You can "remove" the text by removing the Welcome dialog and replacing it with a custom dialog. In VS 2005 -
Right click on the Setup project in the solution explorer
Select View - User Interface
Under the Start group for Install and Administrative Install delete "Welcome"
Then you can add a "Textboxes (A)" dialog (right click the "Start" group and select Add Dialog) to the project, set the visible property for the text boxes to false. Move the Textboxes (A) up to the top of the "Start" sequence.
The properties for this dialog include:
BannerBitmap
BannerText
BodyText
This should allow you to control the look / feel (to a certain extent) of this new "Welcome" page.
I'd just like to add to this that sometimes creating a custom dialog is a pain in the rear and that you can follow the advice at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/5af7ff28-3dbb-4a8a-8d62-a09af9e32b29 to use a tool called InstEdit (http://www.instedit.com -- there is a free version) to edit the outputted installer and remove the BannerText
I don't believe there is an easy way (e.g. changing a property). I had the same problem recently. I couldn't find anything. Ended up using Orca to "prod around in the .msi". It seems the only thing you can alter easily is the language it's displayed in.
