Re: Things I'm missing from version 5 ...

The Javadoc - Netbeans 6.1 has some "Code completion" - try putting in {@,
and select link from the drop-down, then type #, and you should get a list
of local methods etc to choose from.

Also, you can create code templates for javadoc - select Tools - Options -
Editor - Code Templates, then select "text/x-javadoc" from the "Language"
drop-down. You can now create code templates which work when you are writing
javadoc.

Since 6.0, if you put the cursor on the line just before a class member (or
the class name itself), then type /** and press enter, it will create some
initial javadoc for you - works well!

Hope this helps.
