First of all, welcome! What kind of AlphaServers and Integrity systems are they?
Speaking of NetBeans: Recently I've tried to install the NetBeans plug-in, for the ‘distributed NetBeans’ VMS remote development feature functionality. Unfortunately, however, the plug-ins seems rather outdated and it appears to me that I'd need an older version of NetBeans. I'm still interested though, despite the fact that my first attempts weren't so successful. Have you made an attempt to try it yet?
