To simplify the process of working with the NetBeans APIs, the NetBeans IDE provides several wizards that guide you through the initial phase of working with a NetBeans API. For example, the New Action wizard provides the basis of an implementation of the NetBeans Actions API, the New File Type wizard provides the basis of an implementation of the NetBeans Loaders API, and so on.
The NetBeans API wizards are as follows:
The NetBeans API wizards create the starting point for your development activities. Once you have worked through a wizard, you build your module's functionality on top of the files that the wizard creates for you.
The following table lists the Javadoc that you will need to refer to when building on top of the skeleton API implementations:
