Intent (Intent API)

java.lang.Object
- org.netbeans.api.intent.Intent

```
public final class Intent
extends java.lang.Object
```
Description of some intended operation. The operation is described by an action and a URI.
If the intent is executed, proper registered handler is chosen to perform the actual operation.

For example, the following code can be used to open a file in editor (if the environment is suitable for such operation).
new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, new URI("file://path/file.txt")).execute();
