Hi,
A few months ago I released the "Applet Runner" NetBeans plug-in:
https://plugins.netbeans.apache.org/catalogue/?id=57
It allows you to run Java applications embedded in NetBeans if they extend
(J)Applet.
I've already included a few of my software in the bookmarks (text tools,
dictionaries, vnc, ...) and now I'm wondering which kind of software would
you like to see running embedded in your IDE?
Here are a few ideas I'm thinking of:
- A monitoring tool like monitoring if a server returns HTTP 200 or
time-out (like localhost:8080 or production), monitoring if a file exists,
...
The goal is to be alerted quicker if the server fails or to continue
developing while localhost is starting
- A file manager, so you don't need to switch between the IDE and the file
manager to do file operations or view files
- A HTML browser, for example to see Jira issues while developing or view
your website
- Show clipboard history in a list to easily pick up a previous copied text
- An audio recording tool to record thoughts while coding
- A mp3 player to play music/podcast while coding
- Run Jitsi (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/) embedded
- A basic chat program that supports Matrix or XMPP protocol
- Run JediTerm (https://github.com/JetBrains/jediterm) Terminal emulator
in NetBeans
- A basic Excel sheet viewer or a MS Word document viewer or a PDF viewer
- Highlight part of the screen for example when doing a presentation with
code
- Transform JMH benchmarks from text to a graph
Let me know which idea you prefer or add new ideas.
Best regards,
Anthony
