I've prepared some instructions how to deal with prepared Tcl Plugin. Please download .nbm file from http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/39119/tcl-plugin . Make sure that your Netbeans plugins are up to date. Sometimes Netbeans couldn't handle automatic update during installation of Tcl Plugin. I also recommend to manually install missing plugins.

First step: Open Netbeans 7.0. Select Tools→Plugins:

Plugins window will open. Select Downloaded tab and press Add plugins... button:

Select just downloaded .nbm file:

You will see this information:

Now select Install button. Here is the result:

Installer will ask you to confirm BSD License and display warning about my certificate:

After all steps Tcl Plugin is installed:

Current state (version 0.1 according to .nbm numeration) of Tcl Plugin allows to edit .tcl files with syntax highlight and create Tcl Projects.

File→New Project gives ability to create empty Tcl script:

dmp 26 June 2011 Updated version (0.2 according to .nbm numeration) allows to run Tcl scripts. Here is an example:

Also Option Panel (Tools→Options) is available. Make sure that tclsh path is correct.
