Hi,

I figured out a way to set up Netbeans for Arduino software development 
without using any additional plugins or makefiles. The build flow is a 
lot faster too, because I’m using a precompiled static Arduino core 
library and I can make use of real dependency checking (that's what 
'make' is for, right?).

Check it out:

& let me know what you think.

Thx -
Cheers,
