| Building and Running Java PathFinder with NetBeans |
| Java PathFinder is the outcome of a NASA project. It was mostly developed, and is |
| still used, at the NASA Ames Research Center. The Java PathFinder project started |
| in 1999 as a feasibility study for software model checking. It has since then |
| found its way into academia and industry, and has even helped detect defects in |
| real spacecraft. This document illustrates how easy it is to get a development |
| environment up and running for the SourceForge.net Project Java PathFinder with |
| NetBeans. |

| How to use Nokia 6310i emulator |
| "I wanted to try running my midlet on Nokia's emulator for 6310i. I downloaded the |
| SDK from nokia website (you will have to have user account there) and installed |
| it on my computer. I was wondering for a while why I cannot add the SDK into |
| NetBeans in 'Tools > Java Platform Manager' by choosing the sdk directory and then |
| I found it - it's NOT UEI complaint. What to do?" You can start by reading a blog |

| Upgrading for 4.1RC to 4.1 Final? |
| A user writes: "I downloaded and installed NetBeans 4.1 when I launched it, |
| NetBeans detected that i have a previous version and asked me if i'd like to |
| import my settings, to which I replied affirmatively. The first thing I notice |
| is that the layout of my views is no longer as I'd customized it. I then go to |
| "open recent projects" and to my surprise, the list is empty. I open a project |
| (the hard way), open a class file, and my customized font size of 12 points has |
| been replaced with the default 14 pt font. Then i discover that all my keyboard |
| shortcut customizations has _disappeared_. I 'm sure all my other settings/ |
| configurations were not retained. What gives??" If you are experiencing similar |
| problems you should browse this thread: |
