Indeed. The whole idea is to make it very easy for developers and users to use and learn DTrace. > > Is it easy to update the scripts it includes?

It is very easy to update the scripts which are included with the DTrace GUI package. It would be great to include your new scripts with the next release of the DTrace GUI. In fact, you can easily test your new scripts with the current version of the DTrace GUI. You need to copy the new subdirectories into your $HOME/DTraceScripts directory before invoking NetBeans IDE. I am assuming that the new scripts are subdivided into different subdirectories based on their functionality. > Also, is NetBeans popular on MacOS X?

The NetBeans IDE is popular on MacOS X platform and in fact I had several requests from MacOS X developers and users to port the DTrace GUI to MacOS X. It should be an easy port if the Java DTrace API is already ported to MacOS X. Otherwise, first we need to port the Java DTrace API to MacOS X before we can use the DTrace GUI with NetBeans IDE on MacOS X.
