Test My Code NetBeans plugin
This is a NetBeans plugin for the Test My Code server. It allows downloading, testing and submitting exercises directly from the IDE.
Developer setup
:exclamation: If you cannot find NetBeans Platforms from under Tools, you need to activate the Developing NetBeans plugin. In Tools -> Plugins -> Installed, check the checkbox next to Developing NetBeans, and click Activate.
To ensure compatibility to a specific release, the project is configured to use a fresh unpatched installation of a specific version of NetBeans (currently 11.1). Download the "OS Independent Zip" edition of this version of NetBeans and extract it somewhere.
Then start your ordinary NetBeans (NOT the one you just extracted, another one). Go to Tools -> NetBeans Platforms and
add the extracted directory as a new platform. It should get automatically named something like "nb802".
Now open the plugin's master project in NetBeans and build it. Then right click the project and select Open Required Projects. If NB shows errors in the editor, try restarting NB (they should have been eliminated after the first build). Now the project should work as any other NB plugin project.
For a little more convenience while testing, you might want to set tmc-plugin/src/fi/helsinki/cs/tmc/tailoring/SelectedTailoring.properties to use DeveloperTailoring.
