Select project group at startup #4626

Open zeleznypa opened 1 year ago

zeleznypa commented 1 year ago

Description

Netbeans support so called „project groups“ which is very handy, but when I open NetBeans with not preferred project group, it took so many time to switch to another.

Use case/motivation

It will be very useful to have a possibility to choose the project group before whole NetBeans start.

So when the user have more than one project group defined, the dialog window

should be displayed before projects are loaded (in the startup phase).

Or when somebody run the NetBeans with some argument like --manage-group

I would prefer not to show the same dialog for managing the groups I more prefer to show a list of available group and choose one. The rest is not necessary on startup.

@Chris2011 Any possibility to choose the project group will be fine. Reuse dialog window that already exists can be (hopefully) less work, but it is an implementation detail.

i think you could start NB with --close-group and then select a new one via right click, no?

There is a related issue here that changing groups while projects are loading doesn't work. Making that work correctly and quickly might solve half the issue.

@mbien Thanks for that tip. I have no idea, that it exists. I have one step closer to ideal :)
