Initially I was planning to have some way of opening the PDF file inside NetBeans IDE. But now I don't think that is so important anymore. Right-clicking a PDF file inside NetBeans opens (or looks for) the Adobe Reader by default. I think that's fine and it's not a problem that that starts an external Adobe Reader process rather than something inside NetBeans. I found JPedal not very satisfactory so far.
