Eclipse Workspace
• Workspace is a location on the underline OS whish
stores the projects, their resources and other information
about them

Eclipse Perspective
• Perspective in Eclipse defines a set of Editors, and views
arranged in an initial layout for a particular task or role
• For e.g. debugging perspective is designed for the task
of debugging code, which comprises of different views
like breakpoint, variables, watch etc
• Eclipse has a set of predefined perspectives, one among
them can be selected by accessing perspective bar

anytime, anywhere!
Eclipse Views
• A view in the Eclipse presents a way to the developer to
navigate through resources or other information in
Eclipse
• Views are usually used to access resources easily or to
make the changes
• For e.g. using outline view shows the structure of the
Java file in Java Perspective, i.e. Variables, function,
blocks etc

Copy Creates a copy of the class
Safely Delete This will delete a class if it is not having any references. If
there are references it will show the references to fix and
delete.
Change Method This helps in changing method arguments and access
Parameters modifiers and change same will be reflected at all the
required places in the project. Example: If the order of the
arguments are changed, the input values in the method
call in the calling method will also change.

scripts from build-impl.xml
• The build scripts are defined as targets
• The targets corresponds to IDE operations such as
compilation, running etc.
• The build file has a simple ©structure with root project tag
with set of target tags. Each target tag depends on other
target tags.
• When a target tag is executed, it executes all the targets
that the target depends first and then the target.

on cleaning and building an application.
• The same will be available in the dist folder of the
application

Unit Testing in NetBeans IDE
• Using NetBeans IDE, JUnit tests can be performed in a
simplified way.
• NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 supports JUnit versions 3.x and 4.x
• IDE support
– Creating and Running JUnit Tests
– Creating and Running JUnit Test Suites

anytime, anywhere!
Creating and Running JUnit Tests
Creation
• Create the required class to be tested.
• In the project window, select the class, right click on it
and select Tools and Create JUnit Tests.
• Select the JUnit version to be used.
• Provide the Test Class Name. Click on “Ok”.
• It will generate the test class.
• Add/Modify the required tests.
Running Tests
• Right Click on the Test Class and Select Test File.
• Observe the test results in the Test Result Window.

Plug-ins…
anytime, anywhere!
NetBeans Plugins
• NetBeans IDE is built in modular fashion.
• At the core is the NetBeans platform, which itself has lot
of plugin modules, to provide support for various
technologies and tools.
• The support for new technologies by IDE can further be
extended by adding the appropriate plugin modules
• The plugin modules are available as *.nbm (NetBeans
Modules) files.
• The plugins can be downloaded from the NetBeans
plugins Portal http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/

anytime, anywhere!
Adding Plugins to IDE
• Steps involved
– Select Tools  Plugins
– Select “Download Tab” and click on “Add Plugins…”
– Select the required *.nbm file and click on “Open”. It
will add the nbm files.
– Click on “Install” and Proceed with the installation.
– Restart the IDE.

Profiling…
anytime, anywhere!
Need for profiler
• Any application should have ability to scale up as the
number of users increases.
• The performance of the application should not degrade,
as the load increases.
• The application can’t be scalable if it consumes more
resources such as CPU cycles and memory.
• Profilers helps in detecting memory and CPU utilization
issues

anytime, anywhere!
Calibration
• While profiling, the profiling methods will be inserted into
application byte codes. This will be removed once the
profiling process is stopped. This process is called
instrumentation.
• Instrumentation process has some additional overhead.
• To get accurate results on profiling, the time spent in
instrumentation has to be excluded out.
• For that the profiler need the calibration data.
• To get the Calibration Data,
– Select Profile  Advanced Commands Run Profiler
Calibration
– Select the Java platform to calibrate and Select “ok”.

anytime, anywhere!
Profiling a project – Build file modification
• If the project is profiled for the first time then IDE will
attempt to add appropriate targets to the projects Ant
Script.
• For that permission has to be given by the user.
