NETBEANS: Installing tmc plugin in existing netbeans installation (for mooc.fi java dev course)
Recently I discovered a gem of a website from a comment in reddit recommending a source for learning JAVA programming interactively. The exercises look really amazing, and free too! Massive open online course (MOOC) allows you to follow Java exercises, preform them in your own desktop IDE (NetBeans) and submit you code against the server to progress though the various exercises.
However, the directions how to get started only described a method which requires you to download a bundled version NetBeans with the TMC (test my code) plugin. The problem is i already have NetBeans installed and configured.
After doing some googling I found an easy method of installing TMC plugin onto my existing installation of NetBeans without having to download the bundle. So if you use this way of installing the plugin, on Ubuntu just go to the software center, download NetBeans, and follow the steps bellow. Simple.
The reason I am re-posting it here is because the GitHub page I used recently 404'd, and i want the infomation to be still available as I found it very usefull myself. If you interested in the original page, it is still in the google cache here. It was marked "DEPRECATED", however the part of the tutorial for the plugin method worked great for me. ¯\_ᵔ ͜ʖᵔ_/¯
Just keeping this info available to others who may need it.

My favourite Chrome privacy extensions
These are my favourite five chrome privacy extensions...
removed
- "The Web Of Trust (WOT) extension is a website reputation rating tool that helps you make informed decisions about whether to trust a website or not when you are searching, shopping or browsing online."
- "An efficient blocker: easy on memory and CPU footprint, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there."
ScriptSafe
- "A Chrome extension that gives users control of the web and more secure browsing while emphasizing simplicity and intuitiveness."
HTTPS Everywhere
- "HTTPS Everywhere is an extension created by EFF and the Tor Project which automatically switches thousands of sites from insecure "http" to secure "https". It will protect you against many forms of surveillance and account hijacking, and some forms of censorship
Flashcontrol
- "Have more control of flash content by preventing it from loading in webpages until you allow it."
