“One would think that the concept of integrating standards, protocol, and best practices should pervade every aspect of an integrated development environment (IDE), but application developers frequently discover critical pieces missing from these so-called comprehensive toolsets.

Some development environments require developers to search out plug-ins and specific features, while other IDEs lack professional support options. And many others leave absent crucial features — making software creation difficult, particularly in the development of cross-platform applications. Perhaps most notably, the lack of support for industry standards often slows development and later creates legions of frustrated end-users once a new application built with less-than-integrated toolsets is made available.

With the release of version 5.5, NetBeans IDE overcomes the shortcomings associated with other development platforms and opens up new possibilities for rapid and efficient cross-platform application development. At its core, the NetBeans IDE is a Java development tool written in pure Java technology, so it runs anywhere that runs Java — which, of course, is just about everywhere.

InfoWorld names NetBeans “Best Java IDE Innovator” in 2007 Technology of the Year awards
NetBeans is an open source product with all the benefits of freely available software scrutinized by a community of developers. This creative commons approach has led to greater usability with each new release and given developers more flexibility in modifying the IDE if they so desire. For most application developers, the netbeans.org development portal is the one-stop location for downloads of the environment, along with special feature packs and information about the IDE.”
