NetBeans 6.8 Co-Editing

I remember using collaborative text editing in NetBeans a few versions ago. You can edit the file from your project together with a partner hosting the server on your computer. It was like a hobby. I think you even had a chat client.

I am using NetBeans 6.8 now after a long time with Eclipse. I see the integration with Kenai, but it does not make sense if you are not working on a free software project and are not hosting it there.

I found this: http://collabed.org/ , but it just opens a new window with general text or something else, not quite what I am looking for.

Any ideas if there is a way to get this functionality on NetBeans 6.8?

It appears that the Developer collaboration module was discontinued after the release of NetBeans 6.5 .... at least as a standalone function.

I was able to upload it to NetBeans 6.8 by registering NB 6.5 update center.

I am not sure if it will work, since I do not have a collab server to use or an extended command to communicate.

NetBeans Update Center URL 6.5: http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.5/uc/final/stable/catalog.xml.gz .

The name of the module is "Collaboration Developer".
