Re: Using NetBeans

Hi Ed,

I am happy that the problem was solved regarding the appearance of the old robot.

Regarding how to debug in NetBeans, I suggest that you write this question on the page for the article on the RoboWiki, and ask the author to write about this as well:

http://robowiki.net/wiki/Talk:Robocode/NetBeans/Configure

Hopefully, the author will follow up on this. If not, you are welcome to write again, and I will follow up on this later.

Regards,
- Flemming

I will write such an article in the near future, and write back to you here, when it is finished. It sure is possible and easy to use NetBeans or any other IDE for developing robots in Robocode. Robocode supports "development paths" to external IDEs, which you set up from the menu: Options -> Preferences -> Development Options. Here you add the root to where your robot class files are located (actually, the folder to where your initials is located).

You might also have a .properties file, which specifies the name of the old robot. Try to do a file search on your folders with the name of the old robot in order to find it (inside the files, not just the filename).
