Brand New Tutorial: Embedding Components in the NetBeans IDE
Embedding a component in the IDE is something I've discussed in a few blog entries a while ago. Now there's also a tutorial available. You start with the Anagram sample, which is the standard J2SE sample that is shipped with the IDE. (To have a look at it, press Ctrl-Shift-N, expand Samples, then General, and then select Anagram Sample. Click Next and then Finish.) During the tutorial, you learn about a few of the NetBeans APIs and you acquaint yourself with the new GUI support, such as wizards, for NetBeans plug-in development.
At the end of the tutorial, you've transformed the Anagram sample so that it is docked within the explorer mode (i.e., where the Projects window and Files window are also found) in the IDE (click to enlarge):
Feedback on this new tutorial (which, like the other plug-in tutorials, is in a draft phase) is, as always, more than welcome.
Here it is: NetBeans Anagram Game Plug-in Tutorial
