NetBeans. Yes, this topic has been discussed quite a bit. It has even
turned Geertjan Wielenga into a NetBeans celebrity. If you go to Google
and just type in "Geertjan" then you can just click the "I'm Feeling
Lucky" button because Geertjan's blog is always at the top of that list.
In this blog entry Gregg Sporar describes how easy it is even for
beginners who don't have Geertjan's experience to extend the NetBeans
IDE with custom functionality.
