Download

The Wurbelizer project is hosted at Java.Net where you can checkout the latest sources from the subversion repository.

There are also some packaged jar files ready for use:

• Binary distribution: wurbelizer.jar
• Java sources (for IDE autocompletion): wurbelizer_src.jar

You will find the download directory with more files here.

The Wurbelizer in other programming languages

Uwe Meding wrote an implementation of the Wurbelizer in PHP: wurbelizer_php.tgz.
A C#-implementation is under way. Others will follow, hopefully ;-)

Netbeans Update Center

Because Netbeans does not know how to deal with wurblet files, there is an optional netbeans-module called "Wurblet Support" that enables syntax highlighting and makes the wurblet filetype known to Netbeans.

Furthermore, code generated by the Wurbelizer is locked against accidental modification by the user within Netbeans by so-called guarded blocks. This is a Netbeans feature that worked up until NB 5.5.1 for all Java files. Beginning with version 6.0, however, the guarded blocks will work only for special files like forms or beaninfos. To re-enable this nice feature for standard Java files again, a second plugin is provided, which is called "Code Guard Module".

Both modules can easily be installed from the Wurbelizer's Netbeans Update Center. Open the plugin manager with Tools -> Plugins, click on the Settings tab and add the update center with the name Wurbelizer and the URL according to the version of Netbeans, for example:   http://www.wurbelizer.org/download/netbeans_6_7/updates.xml.

The correct Netbeans version is important because the netbeans team changed the module loading API beginning with 6.0 step by step up until 6.7 (at the time of this writing). To get a list of all available plugin versions, simply direct your browser to http://www.wurbelizer.org/download.

Next, switch to the Available Plugins tab and check the two modules Wurblet Support and Code Guard Module in the Editing category:

Click on Install and follow the instructions.

Netbeans ≤ 5.5.1

For older versions (5.5. and 5.5.1) only the wurblet support plugin is necessary. Download http://www.wurbelizer.org/download/netbeans_5_5/org-wurbelizer-wurbletsupport.nbm and install it with Tools -> Update Center. Make sure to check Install Manually Loaded Modules before you continue with Next.
