Jalopy @ NB 5.0
Long time nothing new? Actually a lot has happened but the blog did not get the attention I would have liked

I'm slowly getting used to working in NetBeans

Ok, I worked on NetBeans for some years now, but I also worked on other stuff. And so I stayed with XEmacs because it supported most of the suff I was looking for in Java and it also supported all the other languages I'm interested in. I even read my email with XEmacs/VM.

But times change and I took the failure of the harddisk in my laptop as opportunity to try and see how long I can survive without a XEmacs setup. It has been more than three weeks now

Some things I'm still missing but I'll look for them or try to find a way to get them working. I might follow in the steps of Sandip and create some small improvements for the things I would like to have.

The first thing I got working again is the very flexible Java code formatter Jalopy. At one time it had a NetBeans  plugin but that was in the 3.5 days. So I took that code and updated it to work with NetBeans 5.0. I hope my changes will make it someday onto the official web site. I sent my project over but the official project has a maven setup and I created a NetBeans project to work with. So there is still some adaptation to do. Until then, here is the nbm to play with and my project sources.

Have fun

Tor pointed out that the Jalopy plugin already lives in the NetBeans contrib area. I did not know that, but I'll check that area more closely in the furture
