StendhalNetBeans

Dependencies

To use NetBeans with Stendhal, you'll need these things:

• NetBeans 5.5
  
• A decent file manager/command line access. Reccomended: Konqueror or just Windows Explorer(Thunar/GNOME file manager aren't too great)

• Command line access for CVS

Step 1: Create a NetBeans Project

First things first: We'll need a NetBeans project. To do this, go to File>New Project (or just click the new project button).

When the 'New Project' window opens, go ahead and select the 'General' category and the 'Java Application' project type.

You should see something like this:
<Note>:
You will probably see something different than what I have (you can get the C/C++ addon if you like but we won't be using it.). If you don't have either the 'General' category or the 'Java Application' type, do these things: If you used a .rpm or a .deb:
(1) Curse at yourself for using the Ubuntu .deb or an RPM from somewhere else
(3) Uninstall the .deb or rpm
(3) Download the *official* NetBeans package from http://www.netbeans.org/
</Note>

Now that that's done, go ahead and hit the Next button. Things to do
(1): Change the project name (I use 'Stendhal')
(2): (OPTIONAL) Change the project location
(3): Uncheck 'Create Main Class'

When you do those, you should have something like this: (you shouldn't have 'Project folder can not be created' as that should be filled in for you)

Step 2: Get Stendhal from CVS

You don't actually have to get anything from CVS, but I do reccomend it.
If you don't want to use CVS (or can't) you can always download and extract the source tarball from the SourceForge page and skip this step.
You way want to skip this step if you are using Windows as it usually doesn't have CVS installed.

Step 1: Open a terminal
There's so many ways to do this, so I'll try to use a generic way.

Linux:
Press the key combination ALT and F2. A run window should appear- type xterm or konsole (or gnome-terminal) in it and hit the enter key.

Windows:
Press the key combination WinKey and R. In the dialog that opens, type cmd and hit the enter key.
