DevFaqFolderOfInstances
Often registries of objects are created by placing files with the extension .instance into some folder in the system filesystem. The task, then, is to turn a folder full of files into a collection of objects, and make sure we only get objects of the type we are interested in. In NetBeans 6 it is very simple to do that:
Lookup myObjects = Lookups.forPath ("path/to/folder/in/sysfs");
Collection <? extends MyType> c = myObjects.lookupAll(MyType.class);(note the separator is always / with NetBeans filesystems).
If you have a single .instance file and need to get an object for that, see this FAQ entry.

Apache NetBeans is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
This wiki is an experiment pending Apache NetBeans Community approval.
