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)
