Annoying XML Comments: NetBeans IDE Plugin

Join For FreeCommenting XML ... you have to write "<!--" and then "-->" ,if you have to write some large doc, and want it be well commented, you'll get really bored by typing four chars just to start comment block.
I was little frustrated by the fact there is no tool(well there is as a hint but i like key shortcuts) in my beloved NetBeans IDE to comment/uncomment whole block of text (like the Java editor has), so i wrote it down.
EDIT: It's useless "Ctrl-/" does the same for XML. See official short-cut list, its hidden in "Coding in Java" but works for many other file types.

It's simple, select text which you want to comment, right click for context menu and select "XML Comment" like the figure below shows.
