Once you have it, you can do several things with it, such as change the main window's default size at start up. But, before looking at that, where is the best place to put code that should do something with the main window at start up? You have two places: http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/customizing-netbeans-platform-#comments http://netbeans.dzone.com/crss/node/5235 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 09:35:46 -0400 836 0 geertjan http://netbeans.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-250147.jpg Sun, 28 Sep 2008 09:35:46 -0400 geertjan 5235 at http://netbeans.dzone.com http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/api-design-fest-08 As part of promotion of "Practical API Design: Confessions of a Java Framework Architect" and also in celebration of the 10th anniversary of NetBeans releases, we decided to play again the game described in Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:01:07 -0400 1480 0 geertjan http://netbeans.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-250147.jpg Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:01:07 -0400 geertjan 5180 at http://netbeans.dzone.com http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/netbeans-usage-statistics-will The NetBeans IDE "phones home" weekly to check for updates.

These can't be set via user interface elements in the NetBeans IDE's GUI support for the NetBeans Platform, though maybe they should be. That would aid their discoverability a great deal. These are settings that have been around for years, as far as I know, so are not specific to 6.5.

That is what I propose to do in this article.First, a puzzler.

They tend to stand and fall based on whether people start experimenting with them. The new Griffon framework is unlikely to fall any time soon, since the large and vibrant Groovy/Grails community has a vested interest in it. http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/flying-with-griffon#comments http://netbeans.dzone.com/crss/node/4984 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:22:25 -0400 4234 2 geertjan http://netbeans.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-250147.jpg Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:22:25 -0400 geertjan 4984 at http://netbeans.dzone.com http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/hello-griffon Griffon is to the desktop what Grails is to the web. (And its 0.0 release was today.) That's more or less all that needs to be said about it, if you're familiar with Grails. If you're not, Griffon is an MVC framework for Swing applications, using "convention over configuration" for its source structure and Groovy as its language. It's new and fun, in the same way that Grails is.Here's... http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/hello-griffon#comments http://netbeans.dzone.com/crss/node/4969 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:04:39 -0400 3800 1 geertjan http://netbeans.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-250147.jpg Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:04:39 -0400 geertjan 4969 at http://netbeans.dzone.com
