Yes - it won't work on NB 3.4. If you want to use NB 3.4, you have
to check out the release34 branch;
   cvs co -rrelease34 tasklist

But it's probably better to work with the trunk (NetBeans 3.5/4.0).
I use it, and it seems pretty stable.

Building NetBeans isn't hard, but you have to know what to do.
Go to nbbuild.netbeans.org which tells you what to do.
Especially http://nbbuild.netbeans.org/ant

Essentially, it's as simple as this (on Unix; if you're on Windows
I can't help you but I bet the nbbuild instructions can):
   mkdir mynetbeans; cd mynetbeans
   cvs co standard netbeans     (standard checks out a bunch of nb mods)
   cd nbbuild
   ant -Dbuild.compiler.debug=true

There is a way to run ant such that the tasklist build is
done as part of the full build; I don't remember how (because
I've got things set up with symlinks etc.)  but the easiest
way is probably to just add the tasklist modules in build.properties
to the standard configuration (same file).

Otherwise, explicitly run ant from the top of the tasklist
directory, and copy/symlink the contents of */netbeans/* to
../nbbuild/netbeans/.

Hope that helps. If you have problems building the IDE, feel
free to ask on nbdev (where the buildmasters etc. hang out
and can help you - I'm really an ant-cut&paste kind of user,
not a power user.)
