I use mostly Eclipse and have played around a little bit with NetBeans. The feature I have missed most is the "link with editor" which Eclipse has but I haven't found in NetBeans. The idea is that if I turn "link with editor" on, the editor window will always be in sync with the tree view on the left side (in Eclipse it's called "package explorer"). Is there such a feature in NetBeans?

From within the file you want to link, you can press Ctrl+Shift+1, +2, or +3. Pressing 1 navigates to the current file in the Projects tab/tree, 2 to the file in the Files tree, 3 to Favorites.
Link with editor is useful when you open many files in your project. When you select a file in the editor, the Project Explorer or the Navigator show you the same file in its document tree. Short, sweet and accurate description of what it does. Welcome to SO.
In NetBeans 8.2 Go to Window->Navigator in menu bar or press Ctrl+7 and select Projects it will open a folder as work space .
In NetBeans 6.7 it's under View -> Synchronize Editor with Views.
In NetBeans 8.1 it's under View -> Synchronize Editor with Views.
