In particular, I'm adding the "MatissePanel.java" template to the list of templates available on the Views node of the project:
Once you've created a Matisse panel, you can integrate it into the Griffon app like this:
Then run the app:
I'm planning to create some articles around the Matisse/Griffon scenario, since that in particular is what makes the NetBeans Griffon integration interesting. A starting point I'll be using is here and here.

Go Griffon Go!
