You can very easily get netbeans to use your full name when it generates code from it templates, rather than what ever you set your account name to be.

It seems Oracle lawyers have advised the Netbeans team that they can no longer ship JUnit with the Netbeans IDE. I originally did not understand this issue (see update below), but it seems that the Netbeans team have a neat way to deal with this “advice” anyway.

This is a quick overview of how I created a simple hello world example using JBehave and Netbeans, following the BDD development practices.

Create a New Project

Create a new project in Netbeans Ctrl-Shift-N

Select a Java Application template (from the Java category) and call the project HelloBDDWorld

package org.jr0cket.scenarios;
import org.jbehave.scenario.Scenario;

public class IReceiveAGreetingWhenILogin extends Scenario {

    public IReceiveAGreetingWhenILogin(){
        super(new LoginSteps());
    }
}

` LoginSteps.java

package org.jr0cket.scenarios;

import org.jbehave.scenario.steps.Steps;

class LoginSteps extends Steps {

public LoginSteps() {   }

}

This exercise is based on the two minute tutorial on the JBehave site, with some added details for Netbeans and a couple of corrections.

Thank you.

The Netbeans IDE is a pretty lightweight but easily extensible IDE for different languages that run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM):

• Java - native support
• Groovy - native support
• Scala - plugin - works with Scala 2.8
• Clojure - plugin called enclojure

This article covers setting up Scala in Netbeans 6.8 in Linux (works on MacOSX too) - includes installing Scala 2.8, check out the Netbeans guide for Mac and Windows installs and other tips.
