Ubuntu: Open Netbeans in specific workspace (using window matching)

Question

Using the CompizConfig Settings Manager on Ubuntu 13.10 I would like to assign Netbeans 7.4 to workspace 4 (viewport X=2, Y=2) and have it maximized. This approach works just fine for Chromium and Thunderbird. The problem is that using the class=Netbeans IDE 7.4 is not doing anything, and the name=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer is not matching my Netbeans instance either.

How do I configure my CompizConfig Window Placement to place Netbeans in the appropriate workspace?

Answer 1

spaces need to be escaped in most shell envoirements, because spaces could indicate different arguments. try:

class="Netbeans IDE 7.4"

or:

class=Netbeans\ IDE\ 7.4
