Developing for jMonkeyPlatform

Note that all info is subject to change while jMP is still in alpha! In general, developing plugins for jMonkeyPlatform is not much different than creating plugins for the NetBeans Platform which in turn is not much different than creating Swing applications. You can use jMonkeyPlatform to develop plugins, be it for personal use or to contribute to the community. If you feel like you want to make an addition to jMonkeyPlatform dont hesitate to contact the jme team regardless of your knowledge in NetBeans platform development. For new plugins, the basic project creation and layout of the plugin can always be handled by a core developer and you can go on from there fleshing out the plugin. By using the Platform functions, your plugin feels more like a Platform application (global save button, file type support etc.).
