What version of NetBeans are you running?   I use NetBeans with JMRI all the
time, and there are no problems at all.

Since NetBeans by default uses ant for all of the builds, this change in how
Version.java is handled (checked in a couple of weeks ago) was completely
transparent.

I use NetBeans 7.01, albeit I do so on Mac OS X and not Windows.  Others on
the list are known to be using NetBeans on windows without trouble.   There
is a nbproject directory in the JMRI source, which I believe contains all of
the right settings, so you might want to consider checking out a fresh copy
into a new projects directory.

You need two source package folders (java/src and java/tmp) and one test
package folder (java/test).  The easiest way to build the software is by
using the 'build' target in the Ant file (build.xml).   A bunch of JAR files
need to be added to the classpath (see the lists named as
'runtime.class.path' and 'build.class.path' in build.xml).

But, as I noted, this should already be all set up in the code that is
currently checked in.
