Quicktips: Nice little features in NetBeans’ JS-Editor

Currently there is a MOOC on Oracle JET (https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/sign_up_free_today_oracle), which I am attending. I am not a JS developer for my daily living, so there was no need for me to use the JS editor of NetBeans until now. So I was surprised by some cool features in NetBeans 8.1:

  • Drag & Drop of js files into HTML generates script tags

Quicktip: How to customize the names of Maven project nodes

Since NetBeans 7.4 you can configure the name of Maven-based project via options at “Tools|Options|Java|Maven|Appearance”. No additional plugin is required.
