Re: Program C++ in NetBeans?

The issue is that I am running Linux and having problems getting WindRiver installed and would like to use NetBeans to write and test code. I have been able to successfully install NetBeans but not Wind River so I would like to use that.
No, you can't compile C++ code for the robot using NetBeans. Yes, you can write C++ code in NetBeans, and copy it into WindRiver Workbench. Personally, I would use Eclipse to write the C++ code at home, share it on a Subversion server, and do the rest of the work in WRW. WindRiver Workbench is based on Eclipse, so Eclipse will act and feel like WRW, which may make switching back and forth more comfortable.

Another option would be to download the WRW trial for Linux, and see if you can copy over the license files and FRC-specific stuff. I don't know how hard this would be, or if it's even legal. The WPILib guys would probably be interested if you got it to work, though.
