Abstract
Apache NetBeans is a modular IDE, and therefore, it is very extensible. Not only is it easy to extend the IDE, but it is also very easy to develop entire desktop rich applications utilizing the NetBeans Platform. In this chapter, we will discuss how to build modules a.k.a. “Plugins” so that the IDE can be extended to encompass new functionality. For instance, new programming languages are being created all the time, and it is easy to extend Apache NetBeans to support new languages by developing a new plugin.
