Netbeans (OpenJdk Native project) on Windows - how to set up source directories

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi Thomas,

this list is very quiet.

I suggest to join the NetCAT project [1]. As a side effect you should 
get a lot of help from the comunitiy members. I too would appreciate, 
that developing JDK source on NetBeans would be more simple.
