There are many resources available to find additional information on creating NetBeans plug-in modules and NetBeans rich client applications. The information presented in this chapter is intended to give you enough information to get you started developing NetBeans plug-in module and NetBeans rich client applications. Additional information on creating NetBeans plug-in modules and rich client applications can found be found online.

Some of the links below are specific to module development support that was developed for NetBeans IDE 5.0. By the time you read this, there will probably be more features added to support module development and more documentation as well.
