How to hide/show toolbar dynamically in NetBeans Platform

To hide/show toolbar dynamically in NetBeans Platform, you should pre-define a toolbar Configuration firstly, then set to what you want via:

ToolbarPool.getDefault().set(String toolbarConfiguratonName);

1. Define toolbar configuration files in module's resource director: blogtrader-platform-branding\src\org\blogtrader\platform\branding\netbeans\resources\Toolbars

Standard.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configuration PUBLIC "-//NetBeans IDE//DTD toolbar//EN"
 "http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/toolbar.dtd">

<Configuration>
    <Row>
        <Toolbar name="View" />
        <Toolbar name="Control" />
        <Toolbar name="Indicator" />
        <Toolbar name="Draw" />
        <Toolbar name="Memory" />
    </Row>
  
    <Row>
        <Toolbar name="File" position="2" visible="false" />
        <Toolbar name="Edit" position="2" visible="false" />
        <Toolbar name="Build" position="2" visible="false" />
        <Toolbar name="Debug" position="2" visible="false" />
        <Toolbar name="Versioning" position="2" visible="false" />
    </Row>
</Configuration>

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE Configuration PUBLIC "-//NetBeans IDE//DTD toolbar//EN" 
"http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/toolbar.dtd">

<Configuration>
    <Row>
        <Toolbar name="View" />
        <Toolbar name="Control" />
        <Toolbar name="Indicator" />
        <Toolbar name="Draw" />
        <Toolbar name="Memory" />
    </Row>
  
    <Row>
        <Toolbar name="File" position="2" />
        <Toolbar name="Edit" position="2" />
        <Toolbar name="Build" position="2" />
        <Toolbar name="Debug" position="2" visible="false" />
        <Toolbar name="Versioning" position="2" visible="false" />
    </Row>
</Configuration>

2. register the configuration files in layer.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE filesystem PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD Filesystem 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/filesystem-1_0.dtd">
<filesystem>    
    <folder name="Toolbars">
    
        <file name="Standard.xml" url="Toolbars/Standard.xml">
        </file>
        <attr name="Standard.xml/Developing.xml" boolvalue="true" />
        <file name="Developing.xml" url="Toolbars/Developing.xml">
        </file>

    </folder >
</filesystem>

3. set to toolbar configuration that you want via:

// change to toolbar layer as Standard
ToolbarPool.getDefault().set("Standard"); 

// change to toolbar layer as Developing
ToolbarPool.getDefault().set("Developing");
