I am a new to this subject, but I have choosen to develop a application to control home applience using NanoStack for my MSc project. But NanoStackPro have the dev enviroment and costly.
Can some one give a starting point how to use Netbeans/ Eclips for this opensource stack ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
All the development tools needed for NanoStack are free open-source tools. Depending on your platform you use msp430-gcc or sdcc which are command-line compilers. Eclipse is fully supported by NanoStack, as it uses the command line compiler and make to build projects. Please see the Wiki for installation instructions:
To use Eclipse, install the C/C++ Eclipse support and the go to File -> Import Project. There you can directly import the NanoStack-v1.0.x tree into your workspace. Then you can build the examples from there.
All of our developers are using Eclipse with NanoStack, and it works nicely. You also have SVN support to get the newest code directly from SourceForge.
The 6LoWPAN Devkit from Sensinode gives you the hardware for getting started with development, and a commercial license to all the code. So if you are doing an M.Sc. and are willing to make your own hardware that is compatible, then you are OK.
