Description taringamberini 2016-04-08 13:02:51 UTC

I would like Netbeans shown README* and LICENSE* files in the Project Files directory shown in the Window > Projects panel.


EXAMPLE

Given the project MyProject in the Window > File panel:

+-MyProject
  |
  +-src
  |
  ... other directories and files
  |
  |-nb-configuration.xml
  |
  |-README.md
  |
  |-LICENSE.txt

move to the Window > Projects panel.


ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR

Netbeans shows:

+-MyProject
  |
  +-Source Packages
  |
  ... other directories and files
  |
  |-Project Files
    |
    |-nb-configuration.xml


NEW BEHAVIOUR

I would like Netbeans shown:

+-MyProject
  |
  +-Source Packages
  |
  ... other directories and files
  |
  |-Project Files
    |
    |-nb-configuration.xml
    |
    |-README.md
    |
    |-LICENSE.txt


Thank you very much for your help.

For the README file I have found this Netbeans plugin:
https://github.com/markiewb/readmeinprojectview

Nothing found for LICENSE file.

Thank you very much for your help.
