a question about using netbeans modules

Hi Nathan,

Since the JSwat 3.0 release is going to make use of the netbeans
platform, and since you already mentioned that JSwat will be able to
make use of the many plugins/modules that netbeans has, I wonder if it
can take advantage of the external editor module that netbeans has
(http://externaleditor.netbeans.org/). My favourite editor Vim already
has support for netbeans externaleditor protocol to view files and
execute netbeans commands, so it will be very useful to get this support for
JSwat as well. If not, I would like to port the externaleditor module
code to JSwat (to make JSwat a pseudo netbeans server) such that I can
use Vim as a client. I would appreciate your input in this.

PS: sorry about the duplicate, I thought it is more approriate to ask
this question in the list,.

I would also like to know about the status of the 3.0 code branch. I
presume the "trunk" branch is meant for this, but when I tried to
build it, I realized that the classes directory itself is missing.

Thanks,
Hari
