Two Things You Never Knew You Could Do With The NetBeans Platform
Yesterday and today I successfully investigated two areas of the NetBeans Platform that I knew should be doable but had never got round to proving:
- NetBeans Platform as a modular framework for scripting languages. The approach is described in detail here, but could be adapted to any other scripting language. That would mean, for example, that Python developers could have a modular framework (including a shared filesystem, as well as all the many other goodies that the NetBeans Platform provides) in the same way that Java developers have the NetBeans Platform already.
- NetBeans Platform as a tool for extending GlassFish. As described here, it's fairly trivial to set up NetBeans IDE so that OSGi bundles are created instead of NetBeans modules. Then you could extend anything that's built atop OSGi, such as GlassFish, for example.
Pretty cool to see these two thought experiments actually working in real life. Both of them, especially the OSGi solution, should definitely be incorporated into the NetBeans Platform Certified Training.
