This project is DEAD and NOT SUPPORTED anymore by its former developer.

Please fork it and create a new plugin from it. I can guide you through the process (as time allows), but I won't write code, accept pull-requests nor put updates to the NetBeans plugins center.

Sometimes while programming in NetBeans you want to explore a particular file that you are editing on the file system browser, or maybe launch a command in a terminal to do something with it.

This plugins brings to your NetBeans six action, three of them always available and three of them available when the selected node has a file assiociated with it. In particular:

When the selection has a valid file:

• Open the default OS shell on the location of the file (or its folder) selected.  
• Open the file system browser on the location of the file (or its folder) selected.  
• Copy to the clipboard the path of the file selected.  

Always enabled:

• Launch a shell command (with parameters, customizable on preferences)  
• FileSystem browser on any location (favorites, customizable on preferences)  
• Open a shell on any location (favorites, customizable on preferences)
