The *.ent files in this directory provide common functionality to the+
−
project.xml file of various projects.  There are different kinds,+
−
e.g. "-sources" from share-sources.ent+
−
+
−
* -sources: Defines sources used by a project.+
−
+
−
* -view: Defines project's sources that are displayed in the Projects tab.+
−
+
−
* -actions: Defines a set of actions of the project available from NetBeans.+
−
+
−
* -bindings: Defines the targets invoked by the corresponding actions.+
−
+
−
Note that -sources and -view files come in pairs: A project will have an+
−
entity reference for each, so that it uses and displays the sources.+
−
+
−
Similarly, -actions and -bindings are paired.+
−
+
−
These kinds are not paired:+
−
+
−
build-folder.ent: Defines the location of the folder where compiled classes,+
−
resources, etc. are placed.+
−
+
−
java-data-native.ent, java-data-no-native.ent: These define information about+
−
the location of classes and sources of native and non-native projects, where+
−
"native" is suggestive of "native code", that is, non-Java source code.+
