It would be nice to have the 3rd party modules (that are "blessed" by Sun)
available to the Studio IDE users.
We currently deploy our framework as an NBM but cannot find a way to list it as
a third party with either Sun or Netbeans without asking the developers to
download the nbm from our site first and install it by itself.
I'm not telling you anything new, but widening the scope of the IDE with 3rd
party add-ons is the most sought-after features by developers, and one of the
reasons why Eclipse is so popular.
