Beta of NetBeans 6.5 is coming next week. We are quite busy with testing of the builds, verifying the issues etc. As usually most of the users will try this beta build rather then a Release candidate (RC). However the quality of the Betas is a beta quality. All the NetBeans' team tries to keep the quality as high as possible but it is not possible to fix all the issues. However there will be enough time to fix them later.
If you are NetBeans fans then this is time to participate. We need to know about your problems. Then we can solve them. Yes, we are testing it like crazy however I'm senior QA engineer therefore I know that we can not cover/simulate/reproduce all the scenarios that the users can come up. Please, click "Review and Report Problem" if an exception will appear to you. It is simple and easy. You can post it as a guest.
There will be also a Beta Satisfaction Survey that will appear after 5 days from the 1st start of IDE. Don't hesitate to fill it. In this way you can let us know about the problematic parts of the IDE. All the feedback help us to focus the power of the teams.
Do you wanna know more?
