Hi Antonio,
I'd guess this won't work, either. The name isn't fixed (it is
project-dependent), it's not an Ant build file, what is produced (the
config isn't even produced externally), and the XSL will most likely be
interpreted by NB infrastructure - if I'm using a DataObject. OTOH, it
should be possible to just edit the file in a "simple" editor, probably
it might be possible to use some XML utilities, at least.
There's also a non-XML multiview API, I'll use that.
I've still got one problem with this: How do I load my data into an
Editor/JEditorPane? Do I have instantiate an EditSupport?
When creating WindowComponent in editor mode, I'm getting several bugs
about singletons and restoring editors after restarting NetBeans, and my
current approach is very "synthetic", i.e. windows system does not seem
to be intended to be used this way ...
Could You probably point me to some docs?
Kind regards
