libGDX Android using netbeans - task menu too big for screen

java, netbeans, swing

Solution

I'm sorry, but this is a reported bug marked as RESOLVED WONTFIX.

As Marian Mirilovic, NetBeans Quality Engineering Manager said in Bug 242160:

No plans to change it

NetBeans is a Swing application and Swing doesn't provide any scrolling menu functionality.

Problem

In the libGDX netbeans run guide it says to run on android, go `Tasks -> installDebug`. However in netbeans, the task menu is so long, installDebug does not show and one cannot scroll down the list. Someone else must have had this problem, but google has yielded no results to me. So my question is, how can i installDebug, do i have to create a custom task? Thanks
