Before I put it on a website (with screenshots), I'll write it here for your comments and suggestions: Here are the steps to run the plugin: 1. Check out the plugin's sources - they've got a directory structure as netbeans created when I created the module (the plugin). svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/geronimo-netbeans-plugin 2. Open NetBeans IDE 6 (don't know whether the earlier versions work or not) 3. Ctrl+Shift+O to open the project. You should see NetBeans plugin for Apache Geronimo node in the Projects window. 4. Once opened, right-click it and select Install/Reload in Target Platform. It will run another NetBeans instance with the plugin installed. The plugin can create a new Geronimo server instance and start/stop it. You can create a web application with Geronimo as a javaee5 application server, but if you start it it will not. That's what needs to be done inthe first place. Once you get that developed I'm sure you'll know what's next. Ask when in doubt or need some additional information. I'm here to help and get you up to speed with it. The more people work on it, the sooner the plugin becomes ready to use. It took way too long to become a viable competitor to the Eclipse plugin ;-) Jacek -- Jacek Laskowski http://www.JacekLaskowski.pl
