Sometimes while programming in NetBeans you want to explore a particular file that you are editing on the file system browser, or maybe launch a command in a terminal to do something with it.

 

This plugins brings to your NetBeans six action, three of them always available and three of them available when the selected node has a file assiociated with it. In particular:

When the selection has a valid file:

1. Open the default OS shell on the location of the file (or its folder) selected.
2. Open the file system browser on the location of the file (or its folder) selected.
3. Copy to the clipboard the path of the file selected.

When a node that has an associated file is selected or active in NetBeans:

1. Open the default OS shell on the location of the folder containing the file.
   
2. Open the folder of the file in the default OS file system browser.
   
3. Copy the path of the file selected on the system clipboard.
   
   The plugin is not OS agnostic, so for the moment the OS supported are:
   
   -) Windows
   -) Mac OS
   -) Linux (gnome, kde, lxde, xfce)
