The eclipse projects use ant build scripts, which you can use to run from Netbeans. Without doing anything else, you could modify and deploy programs in Netbeans. You'd want to get the templates started in eclipse or robotbuilder, however, unless someone ports those over.

Thanks, this is what I expected. I'm going to be porting our existing code, so I won't even need the templates very much.
