Java – develop plug-in 6.8 for NetBeans

I want to develop a plug-in for NetBeans 6.8, but I can't find enough tutorials / resources / articles The only decent reference link I can find is http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-google.html And it's new. I don't think it's enough

I am looking for two links for better reference, or if you have done such a thing before hearing about your experience

thank you,

Solution

This is' front door 'to the on-line documentation for the NetBeans RCP This will give you access to a number of resources to discuss the foundations of the NetBeans ide

Documentation for the APIs associated with the NetBeans IDE, version 6.8 This document is applicable to modules with "public" API

You will notice that many NetBeans JavaDocs have info about an 'API' package and an 'SPI' package Typically, plug - in developers will create one or more implementations of the interfaces found in the "SPI" package The "API" package usually has the definition of the interface that developers use to access data from the IDE

You should subscribe to several NetBeans mailing lists If you need to ask questions about using the NetBeans RCP API, you should subscribe dev@platform.netbeans.org List If you need to ask questions about developing NetBeans ide extensions, you should subscribe nbdev@netbeans.org List Subscription lists have several benefits:

>You can ask people who have developed the functions and APIs of RCP and IDE about their problems. > You can see the "pulse" of the project and find out what happened
