|
| Keep Those Plug-in Modules Compatible
|
| How do you ensure that the plug-in module you're developing in a
|
| development build will be usable by somebody using NetBeans IDE 5.0?
|
| Considering that, if you don't take special steps, you'll end up with a
|
| plug-in module that is incompatible with the IDE used by your target
|
| audience, it's a good idea to check out Geertjan's blog:
