Hi folks,

I just wanted to announce the release of a module that helps you use 
NetBeans IDE 6.1 in the classroom. It's an Ant output filter that 
filters out all of the Ant output when you run a program and just shows 
the program output. Because NetBeans IDE uses Ant to run programs, when 
you run HelloWorld you see this:

init:
deps-jar:
compile:
run:
Hello World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

Which can be confusing to beginners. With the Ant Output Filter 
installed, you only see this:

Hello World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

To install the plug-in, go to Tools > Plugings, then locate the Ant 
Output Filter in the Available tab and install it. To disable the 
plugin, you have to uninstall it. The plug-in is only available for 
NetBeans 6.1.

Thanks!
