Build output window links a file but there is no easy way to find where the file is The output window links the file with errors but there is no easy way to locate the file in the project tree. "Find in Projets" action would do this, but even participants working with NetBeans on daily basis did not know about it. Recommendation: 1) Include project name in Document tooltip (first place where participants often searched for this) - together with path present there now. 2) Include the "Find in Projects" action on the document tab contextual menu.

This is a rather general item, and there a lot of different ideas surrounding it; see bug #178094. (BTW the owning project is already displayed in the main window's title bar.) > 2) Include the "Find in Projects" action on the document tab contextual menu. I guess you meant Select in Projects. Already in editor context menu but not tab menu.
Created attachment 101276 [details] Proposed patch
Please review.
Re. "// XXX might be nice to use MimeLookup for type-specific actions, but this seems to provide no way to only look in a subfolder" This is possible in the same way as in eg. org.netbeans.modules.editor.impl.EditorActionsProvider (editor module). I know it's complicated, especially when ActionsList is not public API, but that's the way how MimeLookup was originally designed. Otherwise, the patch looks ok to me. Thanks
(In reply to comment #4) > I know it's complicated, especially when ActionsList is not public API Hmm, looks like a lot of work. Will omit for now; could be compatibly switched to use of MIME Lookup API later if needed, since Editors/TabActions/ would still be used for all MIME types, right?

core-main #f7f2cedaf71e
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201008170001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/f7f2cedaf71e User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org> Log: #189320: Select in Projects on editor tab context menu. Requires API for adding actions to this area rather than reflection hacks. Also rework UI of Select in... actions a bit: make top level action in editor pane, do not use submenu, show only ...Projects.
David and I saw a lot of ideas we could use when visiting the JDev team re: navigation among open files. Think we'll revisit in the next release.
