| Yet Another Blog About How Easy It Is To Write Plug-in Modules For
|
| 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.
