Method Detail

createIterator

public abstract WizardDescriptor.InstantiatingIterator<WizardDescriptor> createIterator(FileObject baseFolder)

Creates a WizardDescriptor.InstantiatingIterator for an accepted folder. The platform definition file returned by the instantiate method should be created in the Services/Platforms/org-netbeans-api-java-Platform folder on the system filesystem.

TemplateWizard.Iterator instance responsible for instantiating the platform. The instantiate method of the returned iterator should return the Set containing the platform.

true if the folder is recognized
