The NetBeans 5.5 IDE has been released along with the
NetBeans 5.5 Enterprise Pack which provides tools for SOA development including visual editors for BPEL, WSDL and XML schema
The Enterprise Pack allows you to add to the NetBeans IDE everything you need to immediately start writing, testing and debugging service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications using XML, BPEL, and Java web services.

The NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5 includes visual design tools to make it easier to design applications, and also develop and maintain SOA applications, including:
- Graphical WSDL editor
- XML schema creation, modification, and visualization
- BPEL-based web service orchestration
- Secure Web services development
All the necessary runtimes that are required to develop composite applications are included in a single download of the bundle. This includes a BPEL engine and the Identity Management Server, which are integrated with Sun Java System Application Server.
The salient features in this release are:
- Support for BPEL 2.0 constructs
- New Composite Application project that allows you to create loosely coupled, service-based composite applications for SOA
- New BPEL engine running as a service engine in a JBI environment that is delivered in Sun Java System Application Server
- Author by Example (ABE) schema creation
- Support for building secure, identity-enabled web services leveraging the Access Manager runtime, which is delivered in Sun Java System Application Server
