My question was about finding the current execution point in the code. E.g. if 
I want to add fuzzy search to the PHP autocomplete 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-360?jql=project%20%3D%20NETBEANS%20AND%20text%20~%20autocomplete).
Which approach is the best to find out where the execution happens, where 
should the extension be implemented, it is a huge code base, but it looks 
fairly well organized at the first glance.

Sorry for dumb questions.. But as mentioned, I am not a JAVA developer - you 
may have some common tools/approaches you use 😊

Hi Bo,

Not sure to understand what you mean by "possible to configure the setup, with 
a source map, so I can see which code is executed when I navigate and executes 
tasks in the UI"
There are a lot of unit test in the sources.
When you provide a PR, it is obviously a very good idea to provide unit tests 
as well.

I am trying to look at the Netbeans code here:

In our libraries we usually have a docs folder with markdown files documenting 
the different aspects of the code base - how is it organized, and the process 
of development. I am not a JAVA developer, but may give it a try, because I 
like Netbeans as a web development (PHP) IDE. Is it possible to configure the 
setup, with a source map, so I can see which code is executed when I navigate 
and executes tasks in the UI?

It doesn't look like you are using tests in your code, if I add new features 
and fixed bugs, it may just be a PR to the master branch?

Thanks.
