Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how good is the "intellisense" right now? When I try it, the suggestions don't appear to be comprehensive.

Hi Ian,
Did you mean the auto completion suggestion? If so, it's still not "intellisense". To get the smart suggestion, I need finish type inference first, this may be the most complex part, others are simple.

I think you should provide support for running projects by pressing the "run" button in Netbeans. I don't want to try and figure out ant and edit XML files just to compile and run "hello world"

Press "run", "build", "debug" button should all work
