You can keep your copy of NetBeans current in one of two ways:
1. The easiest and best works if your development system is connected to the Internet. You should follow the directions in the "Getting Started with Java" document. But basically, start NetBeans, select Tools -> Plugins. In the "Settings" tab be sure that there is an Update Center listed (left pane) that has a URL of "http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/java/netbeans/update/updates.xml". In my case, it's called "FRC Tools" in the left window - you can call it anything you'd like. If you just added the WPILib update center for the first time, look at the "Available Plugins" tab and check everything starting with FRC (there will be 5 plugins). Then click install. If you are just updating, look in the "Updates" tab, check, and install all the FRC plugins that are listed.

2. If you are not connected to the Internet, you must go to a machine that is on the Internet and go to the URL:
http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/java/netbeans/update
and copy all the .NBM files onto some removable storage, like a USB flash drive. Plug the flash drive into your development computer. In NetBeans, go to the "Tools->Plugins" window and select the "Downloaded" tab. Click "Add Plugins..." and select the location where the .NBM files are located. Select all the files and click "Install".

Either of these techniques will update your system to the current version of the NetBeans plugins. The current version requires the V20 image file that installs with the most recent NI LabVIEW update.
