NetBeans is turning 10 next week!


NetBeans is turning 10 next week!

Wow, it's been 10 years and the IDE has certainly evolved tremendously over these years. My first usage of NetBeans goes back to version 3.6 (Mar 2004). The What's New list shows Code Folding, Native L&F for Windows and MacOS and Arrange Windows using drag-and-drop amongst many other features. And today, it leverages the mauturity of Java platform and incorporates comprehensive tooling for languages and frameworks other than Java such as PHP, Ruby-on-Rails, Groovy-on-Grails, C/C++, JavaScript, and many others.

Read complete history of how Xelfi evolved into NetBeans IDE as you know today!

Don't forget to enter NetBeans Decathlon to receive a limited edition NetBeans 10th Anniversary Shirt. GlassFish is one of the featured projects and some suggestions to particpate are:
  • Try the latest GlassFish v3 prelude build with v3 plugin
  • Share your experience with NetBeans and GlassFish integration on forum thread
  • Demo NetBeans/GlassFish to a friend and post a blog entry. Several demos are available here.
This blog has published 174 entries (including 25 screencasts) dedicated to NetBeans as shown by the tag cloud:



I wonder if that count towards getting the limited edition shirt ;-)
