Re: What is the specific procedure to call a NetBeans plugin?

I have been using this "application" as a tutorial to learn the

My problem is that the package described in that page was not written
as an application, but as a plugin extension to NetBeans. My goal
seems very simple; to have a main like this:
public class SheetMaker {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new JavaLobbyTopComponent.ResolvableHelper().readResolve();
}
}
(the above attempt is as close as I have been to success, it compiles,
but fails at run time).
which I will build in several different (non-NB) IDEs and make an
executable *.jar.
The next post contains the source of the full class
("JavaLobbyTopComponent") that I am trying to execute.
