Hey Benny,
Oracle recently made some changes that force plugin designers to break
backwards compatibility, and also made some changes to the netbeans
architecture, at our request, that help our plugin work a bit better.
As such, Sodbeans 1.5 only works within NetBeans 6.9 or higher. With
that said, "most" of the features could be ported back to a different
version if someone was motivated to do so.
Is there some reason why people wouldn't want to upgrade to the latest version?
