Developing Plugin for Netbeans 6.8

Question

I would like to develop a plugin for Netbeans 6.8 but I can't find enough tutorials / resources / articles for the same. The only decent reference link I could find was http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-google.html and being new to this, I find that insufficient.

I'm looking for either links for better references, or if you have done such a thing before I would love to hear about your experiences.

Thanks,

Here are two other examples:

• http://wiki.netbeans.org/IntroNetBeansPluginDev
• http://silveiraneto.net/2008/02/24/netbeans-your-first-plugin/

These are some a good places form NetBeans RCP questions and answers:

• http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansDeveloperFAQ
• http://forums.netbeans.org/platform-users.html

If you haven't already done so, I would recommend watching through the "Top 10 NetBeans APIs" screencasts - click here to view the top 10 api screencasts.

Also, if you need a more indepth source on NetBeans RCP, I recommend the book "The Definitive Guide to NetBeans™ Platform" by Heiko Böck - http://apress.com/book/view/9781430224174
