| Promote Your NetBeans Plug-in
|
| NetBeans 5.0 has not even officially launched yet and there are already
|
| loads of useful plug-ins being build. This is definitely a testimonial of
|
| how easy it has become to create new plug-ins in NetBeans 5.0. If you have
|
| a plug-in that you would like to share with NetBeans users worldwide and
|
| would like to list it on the NetBeans.org website then head over to:

|
| The FindBugs Plug-in for NetBeans
|
| The plug-in provides a tight integration of the results of a findbugs run
|
| with the NetBeans infrastructure. The UI is modeled after the refactoring
|
| view from NetBeans.

| NetBeans Update Center Module in HTML
|
| Martin Adamek has written a NetBeans module for transforming Update
|
| Center xml configuration file to html page. It might be useful for you if

| you want to provide an html page listing and describing modules you are
|
| providing in your own Update Center.

| Accessing Derby Using JNDI

|
| access the Derby database. Here are the steps required to access Derby as
|
| a resource configured in Tomcat 5.5.

|
| Set Runtime Arguments Per Class!
|
| You're developing an application and you have more than one main Java
|
| class... you're testing them out... but then you discover: you can only
|
| set arguments per project! Not per class! So all your main classes have to
|
| use the same arguments! And you have to keep going into the Project
|
| Properties dialog box to change the arguments! Aaaaargh. However, this is
|
| no longer true, thanks to NetBeans user Iván Rivera Rodríguez. Now, either
|
| in 4.1 or 5.0, you can set arguments per main Java class. For details, see
|
| Geertjan's blog:
