Re: using an IDE other than NetBeans for Java
I know this probably isn't the answer you are looking for, but... You can use any editor, and compile with a very simple one-line batch file.
If you want the color coding, syntax checking, etc. that comes with a typical IDE; then follow the other folks' advice.
If you just want to modify or write a few lines of code and compile it along with other pre-existing code; just use any non-WYSIWYG editor, and the command line syntax that is explained in the Windows or Linux sections of this tutorial. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ava/index.html
IDEs are fine things to use (I use NetBeans); but they are certainly not required.

PS: If there is some complicated magic that a NetBeans plug-in uses to xfer results into the cRIO, then my suggestion falls flat. If that step can also be accomplished with a command line or two in a batch file, then you are off to the races.

Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins.
