I am getting trouble with NetBeans supervision of my project-s. On one project, it tells me ALL the classes are: "Duplicate Class"-s.
According to this question:
How to change Netbeans cache directory?
We can't expect to set a specific Netbeans folder. I'm not too concerned about why. I want a method to coerce Netbeans to use a single cache that I specify. For instance, a short look to day found TWO netbeans folders on Windows.
c:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\NetBeans\8.0
C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.0
for the same user (me). A folder compare shows that the two are Different. So there's every opportunity to get stuff mixed-up, confused or spurious errors.
Does anyone have either information on how to better manage our netbeans set-ups, documentation on the info maintained in netbeans folders and/or tools to help with stuff?
It is a major pain to have a small but critical project just blow-up at the end of the week just from a tooling issue. Helpful tips are most welcome, and my thanks in advance.

I don't know Exaclty wich file I should get. I think I finally found the site but there like a list of 500 different types of files on there.
I'm using NetBeans IDE for my programming, so that's Java code and I would like a step by step (Clear to understand) tutorial on exactly which files I should currently download(Include exact link if need be), How to set it up(the jars if there are any because I tend to see a lot of zip files w/ no jars in them), and how to set it up in Netbeans.
If anyone has an Idea, write the solution down below.
The instructions to setup JOGL for Netbeans IDE with some screen captures and some detailed explanations are on our wiki:

It's a lot better than tinkering our JARs on Maven Central with the risk of using the wrong files.
Ok, so after more in depth digging, I found not only the JOGL jars, but every single jar out there in one site. To top it off, more than 75% of the jars had a modified date in 2015, so there all up to date here's the website,

Caution Be sure to really read what your downloading b/c cause on potential mismatch and you could potentially screw up your computer!
I downloaded the eclipse from the google bundle but yet I dont know if it is optimizing the code once it gets compiled. How do I enable optimiziation and obfuscation for my code in eclipse for java or do I need to get a special plugin to do so? I want to make my files as small as they can to be a quicker download for users
If this is a bad question please do not -rep me, just tell me and I'll remove it
I've used ProGuard once or twice, never extensively but my understanding is this: it is an external bundle of files that you must run (either command line or through its GUI) in order to use it. I have used the GUI and it gives you several different tabs for each of the options (Optimizing, Shrinking, and Obfuscation). You can find their project page here with more information and detail on how to use it. As far as I know there is no IDE intergration for ProGuard.
I'm currently using Java and I'm looking for a program that saves a new version of what I'm doing each time I compile. I don't mind if it doesn't run, I can go in and edit the class name to make it match the .java name afterwards. As I'm a beginner, I keep getting caught by overextending myself and then breaking the project I'm working on irreparably. I'm just looking for a way to go back to a safe state.
I'm sure their are programs for this, but because I don't know the collective noun for them, finding one is next to impossible.
All help is much appreciated.
What you're looking for is revision control. This works independent of the language you're dealing with, since all the VCS is concerned with is the state of the software at a particular snapshot in time.
Some recommendations:
Subversion
Git
Mercurial
IntelliJ IDEA also comes with a built-in local revision system, which allows you to visit a particular file's history. It'd still be preferable to use either Git or Subversion.
There are also sites that you can host your project on to better preserve your project, such as Github or Google Code. Github uses...Git, but Google Code will allow you to use a few others, such as Subversion and Mercurial.
Use a Dropbox folder. If you use Eclipse, just put the entire folder in the Dropbox folder, and you are set to go with a backup-ed IDE.
Added bonus: access your project from anywhere.
You could also use GitHub, but then your source code will be open to the community unless you pay for one of their "plans".
Also, consider using Bitbucket, which isn't known as well, but is free. (Thanks to A--C for that alternative to GitHub)
I'd like to be able to manually adjust placement of objects in a project browser tree in netbeans. Reorder, introduce virtual folders, etc. Is it possible? Is there a plugin providing this functionality? Or should I try another IDE?
I do not think that NB has that functionality.... yet.
Before you invest in learning a different IDE, please file an issue that describes the functionality that you were looking for: http://netbeans.org/community/issues.html
(That is how open source improves)
Are there any open source tools that automate the functionality of finding the number of usages of a Java API? I can figure out this information for one class at a time in my IDE. I want to use this information to create a rudimentary report on the speed of adoption of a particular library. I would create a daily report on the number of usages of dozens of classes, and I would report on several code bases.
I'd go with one of those tools for analyzing dependencies in Java code. Let it work on your source tree, a package or a single class and see if you can export the results to XML or something like that. I've used Dependency Finder in a project about two years ago and I think it should do what you want. Not sure about the export to XML, though.
In Eclipse you can right click on a method name or class and go to the References menu and from there you can choose the scope of where you want to search for classes that reference that item.
Is that what you need?
I'm going to try Macker. Its style is to report references to configured classes as errors, but that's fine. It can be run from an automated build. Thanks Robert.
