Create file in netbeans platform

Question

I've made a plugin for NetBeans which parse a Java file and generate 2 files. I'm writting it to the disk with standard operations (i.e., normal java.io.File). It works, but it takes a while (usually 10 seconds or +) to show on the project (folder) tree.

I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to create this file using the netbeans platform api.

Answer 1

The FileSystem API is the place that you should probably start. You may want to focus on the FileObject and FileUtil classes.
