Geertjan's Notes about our meeting!

I know that it is too late to send this post, but I was very busy in my term exams,
Here is geertjan's notes about my Graduation Project Meeting which was last 7th january in Alex


the meeting was very very useful for me on both personal and work levels,
and you can read complete post about Gj's visit on His Blog

and here is Geertjan's notes:

NetBeans Platform Project at Suez Canal University. I met Ahmed Gaber and another student from Suez Canal University (cool name for a university) in Ismailia, who are in a team of 10 students creating a visual database generator on the NetBeans Platform. Read about it here. Potentially, they could end up working on their project in tandem with the database engineers on the NetBeans team, but that is still under discussion. (Ahmed also created a new Shisha plugin for NetBeans IDE, which I will blog about separately, soon.) By the way, those two students traveled 5 hours to visit me in Alex ...

Notes ended, waiting your comments

Get RCP book samples, for NetBeans platform

Welcome every body,
Two days ago, I was looking for Rich Client Book's samples, actually I've to find it easily on NetBeans 6.0 Update Center, but I use NetBeans 6.5.

Now I need to Get RCB samples on NetBeans 6.5

I've the solution and here is it:
First: you've to add NetBeans 6.0 update catalog to your NetBeans Plugins Sources
1. From Tools | Plugins | "Settings" Tab
2. Click Add to Add new catalog
3. set name of the new provider
and set the URL to :

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.0/uc/final/stable/catalog.xml.gz
instead
http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.5/uc/final/stable/catalog.xml.gz

press OK and checking will be done automatically,

Second , you need to set up the Module,
to do change to the "Plugins" Tab,
look for "RCP Book Samples" , check it and then press Install

now you can open the sample from File | New Project | Samples > NetBeans Modules
then the sample you like to open.

Enjoy the Book with the Samples.
