<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=1285">NetBeans jVi Module 1.0 Available</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
Release 1.0.2 of jVi for NetBeans is now available and tested with NetBeans 5.5, 5.5.1 and 6.0. <a href="http://jvi.sourceforge.net/">Online documentation</a> is available; it is also recommended to read <a href="http://jvi.sourceforge.net/ReadmeNetBeans.html">"jVi in NetBeans"</a>. For proper undo/redo granularity, there is a small optional patch to NetBeans. There are 200 normal mode commands including vim's visual block mode, tag stack and external process filters as with the "!" commands. See <a href="http://jvi.sourceforge.net/CHANGES.html">recent changes</a>.<br><br>
For NON-vi/vim users who wish to only use jVi's extensive Rectangular Edit functions, there is <a href="http://jvi.sourceforge.net/javahelpset/jvi-vis_block.html">javahelpset on Block Mode</a> with examples and instructions on how to temporarily enable jVi only for Rectangular Edit functions.</p>
