FRC Netbeans updating

[Christopher149]

This year's plugins are intended to be used with Eclipse, though I believe some people have modified them or the build chain to work with Netbeans.

Thanks for the reply this will help us greatly. I am curious, are you saying that NetBeans will not work? If so, why is this years programming so limited?

The reasoning behind switching to Eclipse is it commonly used for both C++ and Java (Netbeans not so much for C++). That way, both languages have an IDE usable on Windows, Mac, and Linux and that doesn't have expiring licenses like Wind River.

They have simply switched to supporting a different IDE. There is a project that is supposed to allow the use of Netbeans, but I don't know much about it.
