Editing SmartDashboard Source Code

I’ve downloaded the SmartDashboard source code, and I’m trying to figure out how I can edit it. Rather than building extensions and adding them in, I’d rather build them right into the dashboard. My problem is, I have no idea how to open the source code in netbeans.

netbeans, go to File > Open File

than go to C:\Users\YOURNAME\sunspotfrcsdk\wpilibj.src.zip and open it

though this isnt a good idea, its highly recommended to make your own widget. Why do u want to edit the source?

I don’t have that folder you specified. I have the source checked out from here. I want to edit the source so I can build widgets into the dashboard.

Try this
