love'n beta :: chat about it
tried out netbeans 4.0b today. very nice! when it comes to slinging code i'm a minimalist ... command line when possible, not a fan of mousing, green-on-black all the way baby. i'm likely addicted to anything beta as well. not sure what the attraction is but tweaking something that is taking shape before my eyes, vs spit-shined to a nice glossy gleen, is, well, fun. surf the edge! anyways, i sliced a bit'o time today to tool around with the latest nb kind on the block ... and i'm impressed. very much so ... keeping in mind that i come from the minimalist camp. nb4 feels like it won't get in my way and does it's steady best to meld to my style, for better or worse. it happily slurps up my system and process agnostic ant files and maps the principal targets to nice little buttons. it looks to be quite configurable and should i dive in deeper there looks to be a ton of extremely enabling features, plugins, etc. i like beta! i converted our jnlp files to no longer pin to 1.4 now that tiger is on the prowl. the default ui is sweet and there looks to be some fixes in the mix (eg JEditorPane/HTML rendering) that makes the cutover worth the effort ... which was beyond painless. that and now my application's jnlp and associated instructions are significantly streamlined, as in "just click" simple. now, where is the 1.6b?

Gonzo, dude, your green on black makes it harder for people to see the black-text anti-spam math question. Have you noticed your comments going down?
I have also been playing with NetBeans 4 for my Container demo. I'm currently grokking the CVS support, which is slightly different in the point-n-click sense, but seems the same from a functionality point-of-view.

for getting as far as i have w/ nb4 i'm very impressed ... and i supsect the upside will be significant as i tap into the richer functionality.
