Re: NB 12.6 - how to get static analyzer plugins to install

[Michael Bien]

ah interesting i can reproduce it too.

try using refactor -> "inspect and transform" instead. It has similar 
functionality + it can refactor after inspection.

Don't know why inspect behaves differently. Inspect and transform uses 
jackpot, while "inspect" can use other plugins too - there might be 
something wrong in the check whats available and what is not.

Hi Michael,
All my projects use “IDE-wide” in the project property hints as that 
seems to be the default.  The problem I’m having isn’t that Netbeans 
can’t find “Netbeans Java Hints”.  The problem is that when I try to 
define a configuration via the Source-Inspect… dialog, it lets me 
define it and hit the “Inspect” button, but the results tab simply 
shows “Required Plugin Missing” even when the configuration I’ve 
defined and run uses the built-in “Netbeans Java Hints".  As a matter 
of fact, you don’t even have to define a configuration - just select 
the “Default” one - which uses the “Netbeans Java Hints” analyzer from 
the drop-down and hit “Inspect”.  You’ll still see (at least I do) the 
result of “Required Plugin Missing”.

Sure looks like a big ‘ole bug to me.

I’m running NB 12.6 w. Java 17 on macOS, but I don’t think that’s 
relevant here.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

"NetBeans Java Hints" should be there out of the box. Its the same
system which is responsible for the in-editor hints. Difficult to say
what is going on there. But in general:

There are two configs, one is global which is applied to all projects by
default, and the per-project config which can replace the global default
if so configured.

You can find the settings in the project properties -> hints section.
The global config is also replicated again in tools -> options -> editor
-> hints.

You can run a custom set of rules via refactor -> inspect and transform

Additionally to all that you can also write your own hint rules. Some
example are here:

(read the readme)
