Android Question Porting B4<platform> to the "Netbeans Platform"?

[LWGShane]

With Netbeans, you also have the Netbeans Platform, which basically allows anyone to take the Netbeans shell and form it to their own needs.

Could this be used to port the Basic4<platform> IDEs to OS X and Linux?

The Basic4... IDE is a .NET program and not Java.

It would be nice to have it be cross-platform though

@Erel :
Maybe compile a Linux package with MonoDevelop / Xamarin and a OS X package with these instructions? (Doesn't need to be a GTK app, MonoDevelop / Xamarin can open WinForm apps) (https://mhut.ch/journal/2010/01/24/creating_mac_app_bundle_for_gtk_app)

I just want an easier way to run the Basic4<platform> IDEs on OS X and Linux.

I've tested it in the past. It will not work as the IDE makes many native calls.

Thanks for actually explaining rather than leaving us out in the cold
