Kirk Pepperdine: Further Integrated into NetBeans IDE
I met with Toni Epple in a Munich beer garden this afternoon and we talked about my recent blog entry where I ported some of Kirk Pepperdine's code to the NetBeans Platform. Jokingly, I had entitled that blog entry 'Porting Kirk Pepperdine to the NetBeans Platform'. Toni suggested that further integration would entail a GlassPane, with Kirk appearing at unexpected moments to give random performance tips to the unwary NetBeans user. We came up with 'Peppy' as the name of this imaginary little wizard-like figure. Well, imaginary Peppy is no more, since I received this screenshot from Toni:
Cool, isn't it? Soon Toni will explain in his blog how he did it. But he needs to find his password first. Maybe Peppy can help him!
Update: Toni has now posted his instructions here. Plus, he explains why Peppy is called Peppy (and I thought it was just an amalgamation of Clippy and Pepperdine)!
