星期三 2005年07月13日 NetBeans plugin development will gain Sun an advantage in IDE competition
I have spent some time in the past week on NetBeans, it is far better than I had thought, the better architecture, the ease of use UI, Debugger, nice support for J2ME, all impressed me a lot. until I turn into the NetBeans plugins, all plugins for J2ME are updated in 2003, not much support on documentation. it is a big disadvantage for NetBeans compete with Eclipse, for such a great IDE, we do not want to see only Sun engineer are working on the development and maintainance for it.here is some cents I browsed on internet, which is also an example for the NetBeans lover's appeals:
"Some may not realize it, but NetBeans also has very rich support for plugins at the platform level. Almost 90 plugins are listed at the NetBeans plugin catalog, but there appears to be far less current activity in the NetBeans plugin world than there is in the Eclipse world. When I looked at the page showing all new plugins added in the last 30 days the list was almost empty, although perhaps someone is just falling down on the job of maintaining the catalog. In any case, a shortage of active plugin developers and current plugins could add up to a serious disadvantage for NetBeans. It would probably be strategic for and cost-effective for Sun to institute a program that motivates and rewards people to actively develop NetBeans platform plugins. Sun could learn from Google's "Summer of Code" example and provide direct financial support for those who successfully build NetBeans-compatible, open source plugins. An investment of a mere $50,000 in this could yield surprisingly positive results and improve the overall competitive value proposition of the NetBeans platform. If they don't do something along these lines, then I suspect it will ultimately be much harder for NetBeans to remain a contender. Despite the valiant efforts of Sun's NetBeans group to compete and innovate, if there's no 3rd-party plugin development activity Sun will be going it alone once again, and that would be both unwise and unnecessary. Jonathan, show some love and support to the NetBeans team, write them a check and make a NetBeans plugin scholarship program happen before JavaOne. Sun can inspire, but only with inspiring leadership." ( 2005年07月13日, 05:20:36 下午 HKT ) Permalink 评论 [2]
