"For Java cRIO Image, you must start Netbeans, install the FRC Plugins, then restart Netbeans so that it creates the cRIO Image." This is probably part of why the order that we install everything is so important. All the updates must be in place prior to having Netbeans create the image...

It doesn't help to have Windows 7 updating all the time too. I have no clue how much stuff is going on in the background. This will be amazing when it works. (And impossible to figure out why it failed)
