| <p><a href="http://hantsy.blogspot.com">Hantsy Bai</a> has announced the release of a <a href="http://hantsy.blogspot.com/2009/10/click-for-netbeans-plugin-10-is-avai.html">Netbeans plugin</a> for Apache Click. Netbeans users can now enjoy the same features provided by <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/click/docs/click-ide.html">ClickIDE</a>, the Eclipse based plugin.</p> |
| <p>Please note the plugin targets Netbeans 6.7.1 and might not work with earlier versions.</p> |
| <p>Features of the plugin includes:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Wizard for creating a new Click project</li> |
| <li>Wizard for creating new pages and templates</li> |
| <li>Quickly switch between a Page class, template and property (you can also define keyboard shortcuts for these functions)</li> |
| <li>Provides basic code completion, error checking, hyperlinking and refactoring for click.xml and menu.xml</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Not sure if its a feature of the plugin or of Netbeans itself, but the plugin automatically recognized my existing Click projects which is a nice touch.</p> |
| <p>Here are some screenshots of the plugin in action.</p> |
| <p>• Create a new Click project: |
