Where does the new project generator live?

[BradWalker]

I'm doing some work on the Netbeans platform and have a simple question those of you out there.

Here is a picture of what I'm looking at.

I'm curious to know where in the source tree do I go looking to find the generator that creates the template for the highlighted JForm. A sample of the generator output is listed in the window just beside the highlighted text.

Thanks.

you mean where the form designer templates are in the repo?

that would be here:
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/master/java/form/src/org/netbeans/modules/form/resources/templates

in netbeans you can find them under:
tools -> templates -> Swing GUI Forms

Hey @mbien , that was exactly the pointer that I needed! Thanks.

Let me ask one more question. Where in the source tree does the GUI designer live? The code that actually updates the source file template when GUI changes are made.

@BradWalker presume you're looking for https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/java/form/src/org/netbeans/modules/form/ and in particular JavaCodeGenerator and GandalfPersistenceManager?
