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

very interesting ....NB 61supports Websphere

WebSphere 6.0 & 6.1


I didn't have time to try this yet, but http://wiki.netbeans.org/NB61NewAndNoteWorthy list a few interesting note worthy. I hope they improve the start up speed...

hack if NB keeps this up I can "saved" some RAD7 $$ and actually officially test this IDE instead of used it at home.

great job guys!
