[gephi-dev] Twitter importer update and some questions

[Mathieu Bastian]

Netbeans has a better way than Installer do do this, implement a
LifecycleManager:

@ServiceProvider(service = LifecycleManager.class, position = 10)
public class CustomNetBeansLifecycleManager extends LifecycleManager {

    @Override
    public void saveAll() {
    }

    @Override
    public void exit() {

   }
}

Netbeans has also a good way to access the user directory, which is
probably the best way to cache date. Following example for how we do
it for layout preset files (DesktopLayout):

import org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil;
...

//Create file if dont exist
FileObject folder = FileUtil.getConfigFile("layoutpresets");
if (folder == null) {
   folder = FileUtil.getConfigRoot().createFolder("layoutpresets");
 }
 FileObject presetFile = folder.getFileObject(name, "xml");
 if (presetFile == null) {
   presetFile = folder.createData(name, "xml");
}
