Hi Rick,

Yes, it's an interesting project. More on it here: 
https://java-champions.dev.java.net/
> I was interested in NetBeans almost 4 years ago when I joined the list when I was teaching labs for a CS I/II course, but I haven't taught it since then. I am still on the list and decided to check the website. I am much more interested in it now that I see I can work on some JavaScript so I'll take a look and see what I have to offer up. I have yet to find a good JavaScript debugger or IDE and my intro computer application students have a lot of troulbe writing JS in Notepad! :)

JavaScript is one of the bug focuses (foci?) of the upcoming NetBeans 
IDE release. A JavaScript debugger is in the works for that release too.

The NetBeans IDE 6.5 Milestone 1 can be downloaded here:

http://bits.netbeans.org/download/6.5/m1/

The related document 
(http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteWorthyMilestone1NB65) refers to the 
JavaScript debugger already being available.

Anything you'd like to share from courseware you develop around that 
would be warmly welcomed of course!
