| Remote Debugging from NetBeans IDE 4.1 to JBoss |
| This entry was provided by a new and popular NetBeans blogger Geertjan. |
| "Yes, NetBeans IDE can follow you everywhere. The only thing it can't do is |
| your laundry (believe me, I've tried). So even though you've deployed to |
| servers that the IDE doesn't "officially" support, such as JBoss (or Tomcat |
| 4 or JRun4), not only can you start them, stop them, and deploy to them from |
| within the IDE (as explained in previous blog entries), but you can also use |
| the NetBeans IDE debugger to step through the source code on the server." |

| New NetBeans Contest? |
| Vincent Brabant writes, By Reading javarss, I discovered the following |
| <<a href="http://coding.mu/wp-content/mvcdemo.htm">http://coding.mu/wp-content/mvcdemo.htm</a>>. That nice presentation has been |
| done by using the utility <<a href="http://www.debugmode.com/wink/">http://www.debugmode.com/wink/</a>>. That utility |
| is "Distributed as freeware *for business or personal use*." That give me |
| the following idea: Why not ask, for the next contest, to create small |
| Flash presentations of our favorite tips. By doing that, we will have nice |
| tutorials. If you want some examples of what I already did with that tool, |
| by paying with it during two hours, please let me know, and I will send |
| you by mail. (But be sure you have DSL connection). To view this thread and |
