Method Detail

createLogicalView

Node createLogicalView()

Create a logical view node. Projects should not attempt to cache this node in any way; this call should always create a fresh node with no parent. The node's lookup should contain the project object.

The node need not bother implementing badging for the root node; any files contained in the project will be considered as badging sources automatically. Other subnodes representing various collections of files may still need explicit badging logic. As of org.netbeans.modules.projectuiapi/1 1.31

Returns:

a node displaying the contents of the project in an intuitive way
