<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=2004">Drag & drop code snippets into the Palette</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
NetBeans users have often asked for functionality allowing them to drag code snippets into the palette. That way, you can build up a palette of custom snippets that you can then very easily reuse. Stan Aubrecht, the NetBeans engineer responsible for the Palette API, gives you a preview of this functionality in his blog. You can already use it if you get a post-6.1 development build.</p>
