Prerequisites

Besides basic Java knowledge the example requires the Netbeans-IDE, version 6.1 or newer, and a current JDK, version 1.6 or newer. In principle you can use other IDEs as well, but with Netbeans everything works out of the box.

You can download Netbeans along with the JDK here.

Next, please download the quickstart project quickstart.zip

Extract it with:

jar xf quickstart.jar

in a directory of your choice.

Although not strictly necessary, please install two Netbeans plugins as described on the Wurbelizer's download page.

Now, open the project Quickstart.

1. File -> Open Project
2. Select the directory quickstart -> Open

After expanding the project Quickstart in the project browser, you should see 4 subitems:

• src: the standard java sources
• wurblets/src: optional java sources for the wurblets
• wurblets/wrbl: source of the wurblets
• build.xml: the ant script

Congratulations! The IDE is configured and the project is ready.
