workaround for Netbeans Connector Chrome Extension

[Philip Durbin]

In case anyone else is having trouble with the Netbeans Connector Chrome Extension these days, there's now a workaround. Please see below.

This is one of my favorite tools, and I wrote about it at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.11/developers/tips.html#netbeans-connector-chrome-extension

Thank you, Geertjan, for investigating this problem and for your quick response when I wrote about my troubles in another thread[1].

At about 2:10 in the video, you explained a workaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6lOQS2rWK0&t=130

Roughly, the workaround is to configure NetBeans to use plain Chrome. Then you manually click the "debug" button from the extension. The video explains this very well and it works for me.

Thank you!

Phil
