NetBeans IDE 4.1 Tag Library Tutorial
The standard HTML and JSP tags are often quite boring. Wouldn't you rather write
your own? For example, what about creating a tag that sets text to a specific
font and size? Or maybe you'd like to create a tag that uploads a graphic into
your JSP page? It's really easy with NetBeans IDE 4.1. And you can choose whether
to create the tag in the Java programming language or in JSP syntax. Read all
about it in the brand new NetBeans IDE 4.1 Tag Library Tutorial.

troubleshooting section for Ant debug targets:
