Sometimes it’s hard to find NetBeans modules on dev.java.net because the search capabilities of the basic search are not too good. Actually sometimes I even think it would be better to remove the basic search at all, because people tend to think there are no NetBeans related project at all 
. But the JavaTools community offers an alternative search site for their hosted projects and you can also browse the projects by category.
One very cool project is Marigan’s NetBeans IDE Modules. Actually it’s not only one but four NetBeans modules:
 |
Support for Hudson (http://hudson.dev.java.net) a continuous building system. |
 |
The plugin enables J2EE development modules to configure and deploy J2EE components on Oracle Application Server. |
 |
The dbserver module enables database development modules to configure database servers that have a database server plugin module using the database server integration api. |
 |
The plugin enables database development modules to configure HSQLDB Database Server. |
I’ve used the Hudson plugin and the integration is great. After the install, there’s a new node in the services tab. From which you can invoke a wizard for registering a new Hudson instance:
After the registration you have all your builds listed:
There’s a little light “LED” in the statusbar that let’s you monitor the build state:
And this is only a part of the features. More screenshots are available from here. I can only suggest to check it out, maybe together with this great tutorial on continuous testing with hudson in NetBeans.
