Much smaller NetBeans download
I have been working with the nightly builds of NetBeans 6.0 and the NetBeans Installers
Since I have largely been working on stand alone Java applications I do not need any of the Java EE functionality, I have been able to download a 20MB NetBeans IDE 6.0 version(s). Not only can I enjoy a faster download, NetBeans IDE startup time is better too.
If you haven't had a chance to work with the NetBeans Installers at http://nbi.netbeans.org, you should. I think this is great idea and a good direction for NetBeans IDE where hopefully we will be able tell a NetBeans download page the type of development we plan to do and it will assemble the components in a NetBeans IDE we need.
