Name your shared folder in VirtualBox - e.g. 'Shared1'.
In Windows Map a network drive to: \\vboxsvr\Shared1.
Anybody running Vista in VirtualBox on a Mac may have problems seeing shared folders.
There are a number of blogs and threads around describing tips and tricks to resolve the problem.
In my case the problem was quite simple - Windows Live OneCare was configured with my Wifi Network as Public which meant it blocked local networking. Just change it to Private, or Home and the problem is resolved.

Netbeans Fails to Open Projects after installing Plug-ins
This one is a beauty. I finally resolved it by adding plug-ins in in groups and isolating the actual plug-in that causes the problem.
The openoffice api (developer) causes a null pointer exception and stops any or all projects being opened/created and displayed in the project dialog.

Netbeans on Mac and Xalan Errors
With Netbeans 6.1 running on Java 6.x on an Intel Mac running Leopard, you will find that Netbeans may not start - reporting corruption due to Xalan (I forget the exact message).
As a checkpoint, do the following:
In a terminal shell, running which java will give the response
/usr/bin/java
ls -al /usr/bin/java shows the following symlink
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 9 May 21:25 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
now cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
and ls -al to give all the java versions:
This is what you should have to solve the netbeans problem. Do not update the symlinks to point to Java 1.6.

Now, if you are having the Xalan error you need to remove references to xalan from Netbeans.
cd $HOME/.netbeans
find 6.1 -name xalan.jar -print | xargs rm -f (RUN THIS AT YOUR OWN PERIL - STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY)
Next, edit /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences.App and tell it that you want to use java6.
Finally, open Netbeans and in Project Properties -> Libraries, click on Manage platforms and add Java6.0
Then set your project in Project Properties -> Source, and Project Properties -> Libraries to use that platform.
