Minimap in SourceCode Editor window

[wumpz]

Description

Are there any plans to add a minimap / source code outline view for a source code editor? This was quite helpful. I know there is some outdated stuff around. Or is there an active plugin I do not know?

The one from @markiewb is not working anfortunately, I wanted to have a look but lacl of time. And another one is this here: https://gitlab.com/mcheung63/netbeans-minimap maybe you can try this first.

And TBH there is no plan afaik to do this, I wanted to implemented it as well, but also just as a plugin. Sooner or later on my Priority list of 92772943 Tasks

I made a PR on nb-codeoutline: Chris2011/nb-codeoutline#44. Now it runs using Netbeans 23.

However, IMHO one should remove this bluej dependencies.

@wumpz nice, I will have a look on the weekend :). So if you would like to change this, do it.

My idea for a new impl was:

• Add SidebarFactory to register on EAST or WEST via option
• Clone the current opened with the content, make it readonly, decrease font size and add this into sdebar
• Fix bugs :D

I dunno what bugs will be or misbehavior but this makes more sense IMHO instead of using bluej
