Introduction to the Paint Application

This initial version is far from a full fledged paint application, but it demonstrates a
very simple case of creating an application on top of the NetBeans Platform.

Software or Resource Version Required

NetBeans IDE version 8.0 or above
Java Developer Kit (JDK) version 7 or above

7
 Setting Up the Paint Application
In this section, you create the structure of your application. You first need to create
an application skeleton, which you can do via a wizard. Then you will create the
module that will contain your code.
Creating the Application Skeleton
The "NetBeans Platform Application" template will create your application's
skeleton. The skeleton will consist of a set of modules that work together to form
the basis of your application. You will use the Project Properties dialog to assign
your application's splashscreen, application name, and the type and number of
NetBeans modules that you want to use. You can also take advantage of such
actions as creating a ZIP distribution and building a Java WebStart (JNLP)
application, which are important tools in making your application available to
other users.
1. Choose File > New Project. Under Categories, select NetBeans Modules. Under
projects, select NetBeans Platform Application:

8
 Click Next.
2. In the Name and Location panel, type PaintApp in Project Name. Change the
Project Location to any directory on your computer:

Click Finish.
3. The new application skeleton opens in the IDE. Look at the new project structure:

You see two subnodes in the Projects window. The first subnode, the "Modules"
node, shows you the custom modules that are part of the application. Right now, as
you can see, there are none. You can right-click on this subnode and then invoke
wizards for creating new modules or for wrapping external JARs into the
application. The "Important Files" node shows the build scripts and other
supporting files used by the application.

4. Right-click the application and choose Run. The default splash screen is shown and
then you see the starting point of your new application:

9
 Look through the menu bar and the toolbar to see the features that your application
already has, such as an Exit menu item, a Properties window, and an Output
window.

Creating the Functionality Module

Now you need a module to contain the actual code you're going to write.
1. Right-click the "Modules" node in the Paint Application. Select Add New:

2. In the Name and Location panel, type Paint in Project Name.

10
 Notice that the module sources will be stored within a folder in the application's
directory on disk. Click Next.
3. In the Basic Module Configuration panel, type org.netbeans.paint as the "Code
Name Base". The code name base is a unique string identifying the module to other
modules in the application. Leave everything unchanged.

Click Finish. The IDE creates the Paint project.

4. Take a look at the structure of your application. The project contains all of your
sources and project metadata, such as the project's Ant build script. The project
opens in the IDE. You can view its logical structure in the Projects window (Ctrl-
1) and its file structure in the Files window (Ctrl-2). For example, the Projects
window should look as follows:

order to run. In the Projects window, right-click the Paint project node and choose
Properties. The Project Properties dialog box opens. Under Categories, click
Libraries. For each of the API's listed in the table below, click "Add
Dependency..." and then, in the Filter text box, start typing the name of the class
that you want to subclass.

12
 The first column in the table above lists all the classes that you will subclass in this
tutorial. In each case, start typing the class name in the Filter and watch the
Module list narrow. Use the table's second column to pick the appropriate API (or,
in the case of ColorChooser, the library) from the narrowed Module list and then
click OK to confirm the choice. Click OK to exit the Project Properties dialog box.
In the Projects window, expand the Paint module's project node and then expand
the Libraries node. Notice that all the libraries you have selected are displayed:
Expand the Paint module's Important Files node and double-click the Project
Metadata node. Notice that the API's you selected have been declared as module
dependencies in the file. When the module is compiled, the declared dependencies
are added to the module's manifest file.

Creating and Embedding the Paint Canvas

Creating the Canvas
The next step is to create the actual component on which the user can paint. Here,
you use a pure Swing component—so, let's skip the details of its implementation
and just provide the final version. The color chooser bean, which you created the
library wrapper module for, is used in the source code for this panel—when you
run the finished application, you will see it in the toolbar of the panel for editing
images.
1. In the Projects window, expand the Paint node, then expand the Source Packages
node, and then right-click the org.netbeans.paintnode. Choose New > Java Class.
2. Enter PaintCanvas as the Class Name. Ensure that org.netbeans.paint is listed as
the Package. Click Finish. PaintCanvas.java opens in the Source editor.

13
3. Replace the default content of the file with the content found here. If you named
your package something other than org.netbeans.paint, correct the package name in
the Source editor.

Embedding the Canvas in a Window

Now you'll write the only class in this application that needs to touch the NetBeans
APIs. It is a TopComponent class. A TopComponent class is just a JPanel class
which the NetBeans windowing system knows how to talk to—so that it can be put
inside a tabbed container inside the main window.

1. In the Projects window, expand the Paint node, then expand the Source Packages
node, and then right-click the org.netbeans.paintnode. Choose New > Java Class.
Enter PaintTopComponent as the Class Name. Ensure that org.netbeans.paint is
listed as the Package. Click Finish. PaintTopComponent.java opens in the Source
editor.

2. Near the top of the file, change the class declaration to the following:
public class PaintTopComponent extends TopComponent implements
ActionListener, ChangeListener {
3. Press Ctrl-Shift-I to fix imports and click OK. The IDE makes the necessary
import package declarations at the top of the file:
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;
import org.openide.windows.TopComponent;

Notice the red line under the class declaration that you just entered. Position the
cursor in the line and notice that a light bulb appears in the left margin. Click the
light bulb (or press Alt-Enter), as shown below:

14
 Select Implement all abstract methods. The IDE generates two method skeletons—
actionPerformed() and stateChanged(). You will fill these out later in this tutorial.
4. Register the PaintTopComponent in the window system by adding annotations to
the top of the class, as shown here, and then press Ctrl-Shift-I to let the IDE
generate the appropriate import statements:
@TopComponent.Description(
preferredID = "PaintTopComponent",
iconBase = "/org/netbeans/paint/new_icon.png",
persistenceType = TopComponent.PERSISTENCE_ALWAYS)
@TopComponent.Registration(
mode = "editor",
openAtStartup = true)
@ActionID(
category = "Window",
id = "org.netbeans.paint.PaintTopComponent")
@ActionReferences({
@ActionReference(
path = "Menu/Window",
position = 0),
@ActionReference(
path = "Toolbars/File",
position = 0)
})
@TopComponent.OpenActionRegistration(
displayName = "#CTL_NewCanvasAction")
@Messages({
"CTL_NewCanvasAction=New Canvas",
"LBL_Clear=Clear",
"LBL_Foreground=Foreground",
"LBL_BrushSize=Brush Size",
"# {0} - image",
"UnsavedImageNameFormat=Image {0}"})
public class PaintTopComponent extends TopComponent implements
ActionListener, ChangeListener {

Note: While the module is being compiled, the annotations above will be
processed. XML entries will be created in the module's generated-layer.xml file,
for each of the @TopComponent* and @Action* annotations. The generated-
layer.xml file will be contributed by the module to the System Filesystem of the
application. Read more about the System Filesystem here. For example,
the PaintTopComponent will be displayed in the main area of the application,
defined by the "editor" position, as specified by
15
 the @TopComponent.Registration annotation above. For each item defined in
the @Messages annotation, a new key/value string is generated into
a Bundle.java class.
5. Add these two icons to "org/netbeans/paint":

The 16x16 pixel icon will be used for the Small Toolbar Icons display, while the
24x24 pixel icon will be used for the Large Toolbar display, as well as in the tab of
the window, as defined by @TopComponent.Description above.
6. The TopComponent class is a wrapper for the Canvas you created earlier. All the
new import statements and code below is normal Java Swing code. Copy it below
and paste it into your PaintTopComponent source file:
package org.netbeans.paint;

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
