Netbeans 6.5 is out

No comments

My favorite IDE – has a new version now available. (Actually it’s been available for a couple days – I just didn’t get around to typing this up.) You can download it here and read about the features here.Read all of the documentation here and take a video tour of 6.5 here.

Netbeans encompasses a wide range of languages and platforms. One that is missing if you look at the features is Python – but there is and early access release available with python support for 6.5. I cannot wait until this is mature – I think I will have reached a point where I can use a single ide for every situation where I think an ide is appropriate.

Netbeans 6.5 Beta

No comments

Netbeans 6.5 beta is available for download now. The list of features is just incredible. Every release just impresses me more. I think when I shuffle on out of DBA land, and have time to write more code, I may be able to get away with using netbeans for all development. Nice.

Below this is text from their announcement listing new/major features, etc. It does a lot more than what is in this list – but this hits a lot of things that maybe people don’t realize is there.

Netbeans 6.0 is Final

No comments

Netbeans 6.0 is final and if you are a developer – you’d best go get it and check it out. But maybe you are not convinced. Maybe you ask, “What is in this for me, other than a free tool?” Well lets look at a quick list of what technologies are supported by this release of netbeans. Ajax , C/C++ , Databases , Desktop , Editor , GUI Builder , Java EE , Java ME , Java SE , Javascript , Mobile , Profiler , Refactor , REST , Rich Client Platform , Ruby , SOA , SOAP , UML , Web , WSDL , XML.

This is an immensely useful, open, free, multiplatform tool. It is the kind of thing that really gets me excited. (And no – I don’t have the day off – just waiting for some processes to complete and ran into a few interesting things I just had to point out here at me blog.)
