Im about to start a project for the Netbeans platform. Anyone recommend books or tutorials that they have used and found useful?
Edit:
It is a swing application that has already been developed.
The NetBeans Platform contains APIs that simplify the handling of windows, actions, files, and many other things typical in applications. Each distinct feature in a NetBeans Platform application can be provided by a distinct NetBeans module, which is comparable to a plugin.
Apache NetBeans can be installed on all operating systems that support Java, i.e, Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and BSD. Write Once, Run Anywhere, applies to NetBeans too.
Managing Platforms in NetBeans IDE When you install NetBeans IDE, it automatically detects and registers all Java platforms on your computer. You can use the Java Platform Manager to manually register other platforms in NetBeans IDE as necessary.
The NetBeans JavaScript editor provides syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and code folding, pretty much as you'd expect. The JavaScript editing features also work for JavaScript code embedded in PHP, JSP, and HTML files. jQuery support is baked into the editor. NetBeans 8.2 had new or improved support for Node.
Apart from the tutorials on the NetBeans website, I like this book:

Also make sure you monitor Geertjan's Blog at

He regularly posts interesting articles about the NetBeans platform.
And of course the NetBeans forum at:
