Netbeans 6.5 some what documented setting up plink SVN+SSH on Windows

This is for Window's version of Netbean 6.5 it's needed for SVN+SSH

instruction is here http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqSubversionSSH it's missing a minor detail of setting up environment variable in windows. Here is what I did,

first download PuTTY's plink from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

if you are lazy like myself you'll want to setup enviroment variable for plink
  • Open System Properties (by right click ‘My Computer’ - ‘Properties or by press button ‘windows’ + ‘break’)
  • Select tab Advanced & click button ‘Environment Variables’
  • You can edit System Variable : ‘path’
  • Add path to your PuTTY directory. (don’t delete other path, just add with ‘;’ as separator)
  • OK
  • You can check whether you have correctly add PuTTY’s path by running console (cmd) and run plink.exe without fullpath.
rest of the steps you can just follow the netbean's wiki
