Netbeans modules download site

After several years developing with the Netbeans IDE, I've come to depend on some modules being available. One of these is the UML module, useful for, well, drawing UML diagramms.

Unfortunately, the Netbeans powers-that-be have since 6.7 suggested that you use the commercial UML product from Visual Paradigm. Apart from VP's module being a massive bloatware, its so-called Community Edition is all but useless, and its only goal seems to be getting you to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition.

Fortunately, I found this page which lists the zip file for the UML module. All you need to do to install a module is unzip it into your Netbeans installation directory.

You may also prefer to set up NetBeans plugins update with the URL latest development build update centre at http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/uml/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact.... This is probably preferable as it saves you the hassles of manually installing every time you update your IDE (hopefully, thanks to the efforts of the community, this module will continue to be available in future versions of NetBeans)

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Reclaim your computer!

A personal computer is called a personal computer because it's yours. Anything that runs on that computer, you should have control over.
— Andrew Moss, Microsoft's senior director of technical policy, 2005

The most serious impediment to a lasting archive is the evolution of media, platforms, formats, and the applications that create them. Unique, proprietary, and constantly evolving data formats such as Acrobat-4, MPEG-4, Oracle 8, Quicken 2001, Real G2, and Word 2000 suggest or even guarantee obsolescence.
— Gordon Bell, Senior Researcher in Microsoft's Media Presence Research Group.
