    <p><strong>Goal</strong></p> <p>I'm currently developing an application in Netbeans using the Netbeans Platform on Windows (a cross-platform solution would be wonderful but something hacky for Windows if required is fine for now). The application communicates with a native C++ DLL through JNA. The DLL sits in a specified directory which I cannot control or change - say <strong>C:\DLL</strong>.</p> <p>The DLL itself loads some files for reading in values etc. but it does this using relative paths. So it requires the "current" directory to be C:\DLL. Again, this is something I can't change in this project. The DLL is something I have to communicate with as is (unfortunately). </p> <p><strong>Problem</strong></p> <p>For regular JAVA applications I've had the option in Netbeans to set the working directory of the launched application like shown below:</p> <p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/3HuQKS8.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/3HuQKS8.png</a></p> <p>But in the Netbeans Platform framework/template there are no such options. For the most part it looks like Netbeans just makes the directory of the current file I have focused in the Editor pane to be the Current Working Directory. </p> <p>So how do I go about doing this? I might be able to run the application through a shortcut that sits in C:\DLL but this doesn't help when I'm debugging the application through Netbeans. </p> <p>I want to know how I can run/debug this Netbeans Platform application with the current working directory set. </p> <p><strong>Clarifying Netbeans Platform</strong> The Netbeans Platform is an application framework of sorts. Has a pre-defined structure based on "modules" that interact to form the full application. The whole thing is hosted inside the Netbeans Platform environment which provides each of your modules with tabbed/docking windows. Kind of nice to develop larger applications.</p> <p>More information here: <a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/trails/platform.html" rel="nofollow">https://netbeans.org/kb/trails/platform.html</a></p>

    1. COA little confused. What's the difference between "regular JAVA applications" and "Netbeans Platform framework/template" ?? Setting the "Working Directory" parameter in the image you linked is not sufficient for accomplishing what you want?

    2. COAdded a little information about the Netbeans Platform. The "Working Directory" option is not available in Netbeans Platform projects. At least in the IDE.

    3. COYou might try using the C runtime library functions for changing the current working directory (`chdir`?) prior to accessing the DLL. This may or may not affect your running VM as well, though. If that is the case you may have to spawn a child process to communicate with the DLL; I don't think changing the directory for the entire framework for the sake of the DLL makes sense anyway.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
