I'ved finally done transferring my 5MB project to Netbeans, took me a week to complete. I'm using ver 6.1 and performance is a lot better than the previous versions. Does anyone have any tips for Netbeans newbies like me?

Can you specify why it took you a week to do so?

My program was poorly packaged, all classes was placed in 1 file and 1 package, I reorganize everything when I transfered to netbeans. It took me some time to be comfortable with Netbeans, I was using just an ordinary editor previously. The GUI designer of Netbeans is really cool.

I'd like to share this experience with Netbeans, I got this 3 yrs old Acer laptop and I can't open my main project in Netbeans, no problem with small projects though, so what I did is adjust the -J-Xms & -J-Xmx in the $NB_HOME/etc/netbeans.conf. Now I'm able to work on my main project in my old laptop.

I use netbeans too. IT's pretty good. Although I was overwhelmed by the numerous functions/buttons at first, I got used to it after a few tries.
