I am using the Netbeans platform for a little project. Have a few questions... How do you create docked accessory views? Are all views TopComponents that have individual docking properties? How do you create a view to the left of the TopComponents that shows a hierarchy of data in a tree control? I have looked at the Window manager and TopComponents but nothing googles for Accessory view. I would like to create a master-detail application... I would like to create views that are automagically docked for the master relationship and use Topcomponents/Scenes for the detail views. Any words on how to do this?

I think you are asking about
modes. TopComponents are docked into modes.NetBeans platform by default provides few modes like
explorer, etc. NetBeans platform also allows you to define your own modes so you can dock your TopComponents at different places.To create new modes see official documentation provided in the
Windows System API.See here.
