NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack 5.5 has been released!
Today is an exciting day as we have launched the NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack which extends the NetBeans platform to provide edit-compile-debug functionality for C/C++ developers on Windows, Linux, and Solaris. The pack, which has been tested with GNU and Sun Studio compilers as well as GDB, provides support for a variety of C/C++ project types and includes a makefile wizard to ease adoption. For a more productive developer experience, the pack includes sophisticated language model features, such as dynamic syntax highlighting, code completion, code folding, and a class viewer.
With over 25k downloads of the last beta in November alone, there is already great excitement around this new functionality. To download or get more more information, including docs and user email lists, please visit:

As part of our focus on software developers, this announcement continues the trend to fill out our portfolio of offerings for classic-language developers:
1. Sun Studio 11 (Solaris and Linux)
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/
Sun Studio software includes parallelizing C, C++, and Fortran compilers, tools (IDE, multi-lingual/threaded/process debugger, performance analyzer, memory debugging(rtc),etc.), and optimized libraries. Sun Studio 11 for Linux includes these same tools but works with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) instead of our record-setting compilers.
2. Sun Studio Express (Solaris and Linux)

Sun Studio Express offers preview builds, on a quarterly basis, of the next release of Sun Studio. The latest build highlights dynamic thread analysis (race conditions, etc.) as well as our optimizing Sun compilers for Linux. A new release is around the corner which will offer the first peek at the revamped Sun Studio IDE, which is based on the NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack.
3. NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack (Windows, Linux, Solaris)
http://www.netbeans.org/products/cplusplus/
NetBeans C/C++ Devlopement Pack, which has been designed for extensibility, has been tested with GCC and Sun Studio compilers (on Solaris/Linux). The pack provides base functionality for Sun Studio, which extends it to include advanced tools and features. (this will show up in the next build of Sun Studio Express)
For most day-to-day C/C++/Fortran developers on Solaris and Linux, Sun Studio will continue to be the best environment to use. For those using GCC/GDB, Windows platform, doing Java and C/C++ development, or needing to extend an open source IDE, NetBeans, with the NB C/C++ Development Pack, will be attractive.
Enjoy!
