Developing a new module

To extend UGS you can write those features as a new module.

mkdir ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule
mkdir -p ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/src/main/java/com/willwinder/ugs/nbp/mymodule
mkdir -p ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/src/main/resources/com/willwinder/ugs/nbp/mymodule
mkdir -p ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/src/test/java/com/willwinder/ugs/nbp/mymodule
mkdir ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/src/nbm

Create a maven module file: ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/pom.xml

Create bundle properties ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/src/main/resources/com/willwinder/ugs/nbp/mymodule/Bundle.properties:

OpenIDE-Module-Name = UGS My Module
OpenIDE-Module-Display-Category = UGS Plugin
OpenIDE-Module-Short-Description = Provides a module to UGS
OpenIDE-Module-Long-Description = <p>A plugin that will provide module for the Universal Gcode Sender.</p>

Create netbeans manifest ugs-platform/ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule/src/main/nbm/manifest.mf:

Add module as a child module ugs-platform/pom.xml

  <modules>
    ...
    <module>ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule</module>
  </modules>

Add as a dependency ugs-platform/application/pom.xml

  <dependencies>
    ...
    <dependency>
      <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
      <artifactId>ugs-platform-plugin-mymodule</artifactId>
