This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Some modules (e.g. utilities/search) need access to nodes displayed in project's explorer tab, e.g. they need to find some nodes and select them according to the user's action. They need to get access to the root node of explorer panel provided by projects. (see details in http://projects.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=404441&listName=dev) We could expose WorkplaceNode by Workplace.getNode() method in projects-ide.
The Workplace.getName() method has been added.
