Description pekarna 2013-06-19 05:09:06 UTC
In Java, it's usual to have } as a single character at a line.

If it's too far from the matching bracket, one can easily get lost.

Many dev's tend to write hints like this:

    class Foo {
        ...
    }// class Foo

It would be awesome if NetBeans shown a hint like this; probably with some minimum limit how many lines from the starting brackets it has to be.

This would be also cool for nested conditions, cycles;
And for cycles and labels, it could also appear after `break;` and `continue;`

Thanks for considering.

Now in 7.4 if the opening brace is out of the screen, the popup is shown, displaying the line with opening bracket.

I consider this enhancement as implemented (see comment #1)
