It is surely not for internal testing.
Quite contrary we believe it will be quite widely used.
For now it is available as a part of SunStudio and you can
access it in recently pushed Sun Studio Express
(you may call it a beta quality product).

As for Netbeans - technologically this tool is quite tied to SunStudio
internals (performance analyzer machinery).
So I would not expect it to be available as a standalone plugin any soon.

Though I'm not a DLight developer.
