hello Ivan, the WPILibJ library is made available to NetBeans by installing the FRC NetBeans plugins found at http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/frs/do/...e_for_2011_frc. You can either download the files and install them manually, or link NetBeans to the site and allow it to check for updates on it's own(with an internet connection at least). To let it search automatically, point the NetBeans plugin manager to http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/java/netbea...te/updates.xml.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I can give you a step by step if you would like.
