JDIC with NetBeans: Anyone have any experience?

Question

I am trying to use SimpleBrowser.java itself and I am running into problems trying to install the package org.jdesktop.jdic.* within my NetBeans framework alongside this following error:
C:\Documents and Settings\me\classes\GUI\src\org\src\incubator\fileutil\src\mac_os_x\classes\org\jdesktop\jdic\fileutil\MacOSXNativeFileUtil.java:55: not a statement
              workspace.performFileOperation(NSWorkspace.RecycleOperation, file.getParentFile().getCanonicalPath(), null, new NSArray(file.getName())) >= 0 ? true : false;
                                                                                                                                                            ^
C:\Documents and Settings\me\classes\GUI\src\org\src\incubator\fileutil\src\mac_os_x\classes\org\jdesktop\jdic\fileutil\MacOSXNativeFileUtil.java:58: not a statement
              workspace.performFileOperation(NSWorkspace.RecycleOperation, file.getCanonicalPath(), null, new NSArray(file.list())) >= 0 ? true : false;
                                                                                                                                         ^I have no experience with JDIC before, furthermore, there is no "easy button" on http://java.net, so could someone hold my hand and guide me through the dense forest of confusion regarding JDIC and how to use SimpleBrowser.java so it will work within NetBeans?
Thanx

Answer 1

FYI for those interested in JDIC within NetBeans:
Installing JDIC using NetBeans:
1) Download latest release (min recommendation: 0.9.1) from https://jdic.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=3606&expandFolder=3606&folderID=3606
2) In NetBeans use CVS to embed within NetBeans:
     a) Go to CVS -> Checkout
     b) CVS Root will be: :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs
     c) No password required
     d) Module to Checkout: jdic
3) Go to project, right click onto Properties and click "OK" (that will cause an important update)
4) Using the example SimpleBrowser.java:
     a) import org.jdesktop.jdic.Globals.JDICGlobals
     b) import com.ppowell.tools.SystemTools.SystemFunctionality
     c) Include this static block within the script (remember that this is a static block that is not meant to be within any method!):
          static /** Go to <a href="http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=72&threadID=15129&messageID=113723">here</a> for more info **/ {
                  BrowserEngineManager engineManager = BrowserEngineManager.instance();
                  engineManager.setActiveEngine(BrowserEngineManager.IE);
     This static block will autoset IE as the default browser engine.  Currently as of version 0.9.1 no other browser is supported within org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.* packaged classes
     d) Have SimpleBrowser implement RemoteURLExtractable as a custom wrapper
        e) Include this block within your main or initializing method:
                try {
                    SystemFunctionality.add("java.library.path", JDICGlobals.JDIC_EXECUTABLE_FILE_PATH, "jdic");
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
     f) compile and build using NetBeans
5) Make sure that you add as library the JAR file "Win32.jar" within the accessible libraries within the project that has the classes such as SimpleBrowser.java
     a) Go to Libraries
     b) right click to "Add new JAR File"
     c) Find the JAR file "Win32.jar" within ../dist and click OK
6) Make sure your .dll files are found (custom distribution will have them in "../java_library_path_requirements")
7) ISEmbed.exe is distribution in the archive (.zip or .tar) file.  That file must be copied into whatever path is defined as your classpathMessage was edited by:
