<![CDATA[Trouble writing Protocol Analyzer]]>My Serial-Tap just arrived and I'm trying to write a protocol analyzer for an internal protocol. I can't get by first step: "click menu File/New Project". I've looked everywhere and can't find it.

I'm running IONinja V5.3.1(amd64) under MacOS 12.5.1 (Monterey).

I'm still in evaluation mode for a couple of days. Any help would be appreciated.

But you can also apply it to an .njlog file captured earlier, of course.

One question that I have: Will this protocol analyzer decode packets on a serial link (ie from the serial-tap) in real time. Or does this "protocol analyzer" just re-interpret static logs.

I did that, added the plugin provider: ioninja.com/downloads/netbeans/updates.xml, and installed the three plugins. After selecting unpack200 from my Java8 distribution and restarting NetBeans I was able to select "File/New Project: Category: IO Ninja, Project: Plugin Project"

However on the next page, there is no "Plugin Type" available. Please advise.
