Opening a temporary buffer / scratchpad in Netbeans?

Question

I often have to open a secondary editor outside of Netbeans in order to work on temporary bits of text outside of my project files. Is there a way to create temporary files in Netbeans without adding them to a project?

File -> New expects every file to be part of a project.

Answer 1

By default, there is no such feature yet (I'm using 6.5).

You could include a folder in the Favorites window, and right click > New > Empty File from the folder, it won't be part of the project.
