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 892 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/netbeans-usage-statistics-will The NetBeans IDE "phones home" weekly to check for updates.

(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.
