Scratch Files for Netbeans (Required JDK 8 > 1.8.0_122 - #1)
With this plugin you can create scratch files which will be saved on disk. You don't need a project for this. After typing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + N
you can choose a language and the file will be saved to your user dir: /userDir/.netbeans/scratches
The idea came up while using Sublime Text 2, where you can type Ctrl + N
to creates an empty file.
This is really simple, it will open a new tab with a Untitled file. Nothins special.
IntelliJ has a similar but more powerful functionalty too: IntelliJ IDEA 14 eap 138.2210 brings scratch files....
So my plugin is more like the IntelliJ functionaliy, because you will choose the target language after hitting Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N
and it will open and automatically
save the file to your user /userDir/.netbeans/scratches
. You can see all the saved scratches as nodes at Services -> Scratches
