=== It is [[NetbinoxTutorial|easy to start]]! ===

Here is a quick tutorial to get you up to the speed using [[Netbinox]]. You can either build the [[GPL]] sources of the [[bridge]] between [[NetBeans]] and [[Equinox]] yourself or download the binaries. 

==== Get the bits! ====

To build from [http://source.apidesign.org/hg/netbinox the sources]:

# hg clone http://source.apidesign.org/hg/netbinox
# cd netbinox
# ant

This will create a [[ZIP]] file in ''dist'' directory with [[Netbinox]] IDE - e.g. [[NetBeans]] platform and IDE ready to empower [[Equinox]]. Alternatively you can download the binaries directly from the [http://hudson.apidesign.org/job/netbinox daily builder].

'''Warning''' and TBD: right now '''download the [[ZIP]]''' from the builder!

==== Execute! ====

Now it is time to start the system. You can do it via ant by running

 ant run

or, you can extract the [[ZIP]] file and start '''bin/netbeans'''. [[NetBeans]] IDE optimized for development against [[Equinox]] is started.

==== Setup Development! ====

First thing to do is to create a platform based application. Choose from menu ''File/New Project''. Select NetBeans Modules/NetBeans Platform Application''. Select root node of the created project, invoke pop-up menu and choose ''Properties''. There is a button ''Add Cluster'' in the ''Libraries'' category, we will use it to add [[Eclipse]] as a cluster (e.g. bunch of modules or bundles ready for development).

First of all you need to ''clusterize'' your [[Eclipse]] installation. Go to command line, change your current directory to root folder of such installation and invoke:

{{{
/space/eclipse$ ant -f $netbinox/harness/suite.xml clusterize -Dcluster=`pwd` -Dincludes=plugins/*
}}}

Notice that a bunch of [[XML]] configuration files has been created in ''config/Modules'' directory. These help [[Netbinox]] recognize bundles present in each cluster. Now you can return back to the IDE's configuration dialog and invoke ''Add Cluster'' and provide path to your clusterize [[Eclipse]] installation. Once the cluster is provided, finish the dialog.

==== Develop! ====

Time to create your first bundle or module! Choose from menu ''File/New Project'' and select [[OSGi]] bundle. New project is created and added into the already existing suite. Choose its ''Properties'' and select ''Libraries'' category. There is a button ''Add Dependency''. Invoke it and choose your favorite [[Eclipse]] bundle.

My favourite one is '''org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.core'''. Add it into the list of dependencies of your bundle. Finish the dialog, select package in your project and create a class. Start to code and you can find classes from the bugzilla.core bundle. Refer to them, use them. Small example:

<source lang="java">
public class Installer implements BundleActivator {
  public void start(BundleContext c) throws Exception {
    System.err.println("before");
    try {
        org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.bugzilla.core.BugzillaClientFactory.createClient(null);
    } catch (NullPointerException ex) {}
    System.err.println("after");
  }
}
</source>

==== Deploy! ====

Just choose ''Run/Run Main Project'' from the menu and your application is started. The system launches both the traditional [[NetBeans Runtime Container]] as well as [[Equinox]] and both cooperate with each other having their usual environment around themselves (more about that is explained in [[Netigso]] article).
