             Summary: Support for JEP 330: Launch Single-File Source-Code 
Programs
                 Key: NETBEANS-1783
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1783
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Erik


I've been doing Advent of code and found myself wanting to write, run and debug 
Single-File Source-Code Programs as defined by JEP 330. See 
[https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/330.] I think this feature could be useful to 
people who know Java, want good IDE support, and want to write scripts without 
having to resort to a different language. I also think this feature could be 
useful in an educational setting to quickly get students up and writing their 
first lines of Java without having to learn about project structure. Catering 
to these audiences could help with increasing the adoption of Netbeans.

There's recently been some discussion about changing the default project type 
in Create new project dialog. Maybe Single-File Source-Code programs could be 
added there as well?

Currently you can open and edit individual files but there is no way to run and 
debug them.
