0N/AThe *.ent files in this directory provide common functionality to the

0N/Aproject.xml file of various projects. There are different kinds,

0N/Ae.g. "-sources" from share-sources.ent

0N/A

0N/A* -sources: Defines sources used by a project.

0N/A

0N/A* -view: Defines project's sources that are displayed in the Projects tab.

0N/A

0N/A* -actions: Defines a set of actions of the project available from NetBeans.

0N/A

0N/A* -bindings: Defines the targets invoked by the corresponding actions.

0N/A

0N/ANote that -sources and -view files come in pairs: A project will have an

0N/Aentity reference for each, so that it uses and displays the sources.

0N/A

0N/ASimilarly, -actions and -bindings are paired.

0N/A

0N/AThese kinds are not paired:

0N/A

0N/Abuild-folder.ent: Defines the location of the folder where compiled classes,

0N/Aresources, etc. are placed.

0N/A

0N/Ajava-data-native.ent, java-data-no-native.ent: These define information about

0N/Athe location of classes and sources of native and non-native projects, where

0N/A"native" is suggestive of "native code", that is, non-Java source code.
