Tracking file in Netbeans IDE Projects window

Question

Just getting hands on with NetBeans 8.0.2. Wondering if the IDE has similar features as Eclipse or Visual Studio like

1. Track current file in Projects explorer -

Answer 1

For the first part:

use the option "View -> Synchronized Editor with views" to automatically select the current file in the editor in the project window.

Alternatively (what I prefer) use "Navigate -> Select in Projects" to manually select the current editor file in the project window .

You can find more information about navigating in the IDE in the manual:

Regarding the second part: Java is case sensitive. MyClass is something different than MyCLASS so it has to treat the file names as case sensitive.
