Netbeans plugin for BlackBerry JDE 4.5.0

Integration between JDE BlackBerry development enviroment and Netbeans has always been a real pain.
After you had added the JDE platform to Netbeans, you had to manually modify your build.xml in order to point to the BlackBerry RAPC compiler, generate the correct .ALX and .COD file and so on.

Today I've found a Netbeans plugin for JDE that authomatically creates the right files in the right directories without any manual "correction" (even if you have different configurations for your project). I've tested it only a couple of times, but it easy to realize that this plugin is simpler to use and more efficient that the previous "brute force" integrations available in many tutorial you can find here and there.
At least, it is definitely worth a try.

I tested it with with Netbeans 6.1 and JDE 4.5.0.

Hi,

the most recent documentation I found about NB+JDE integration is this.
http://www.naviina.eu/wp/blackberry/blackberry-api-in-netbeans-6-7/

According to this page, you don't need a third party plugin anymore.

I don't know if it work on latest version of NB & JDE!
