NetBeans 6.8 Beta is out
|
NetBeans
|
It's time for celebration. The NetBeans team released the Beta of NetBeans 6.8 finally. The plan was to publish it yesterday but sometimes you cannot make it. Reason? Slow upload. Could you imagine how many GB have to be uploaded? This could be great quiz question for Geertjan's NB podcast 
If you are interested what's new in it comparing to the Milestone 2 then there is simple answer. It is more stable and we added the support for Java FX. The list of all features is available at the official page - http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/68/. The team resolved around 1000 bugs - http://quality.netbeans.org/metrics/Bugs-Reported-vs-Resolved-.html
So it's Friday, it's time to celebrate the release. Do you want to see the old NetBeans team? Watch this video.

Java ME SDK 3.0 on Mac? EA is here
|
NetBeans
|
Lot of the users were asking when the Java ME SDK will be available at the Mac. The time has come. Now. If you want to try the new release of the Java ME SDK for Mac then the Early Access is available for download.
As it is early access provide your feedback to the guys who developed it at their blog blogs.sun.com/javamesdk.
AFAIK, only the CLDC/MIDP devices are available for the Mac. And two devices with JavaFX support.
Note: the Java ME SDK for Mac won't be in NetBeans 6.8 as its final version won't be ready when the NB will ship.

Java FX plugins will be part of NetBeans 6.8 Beta
|
NetBeans
|
NetBeans teams are working on the next release. That's obviously no big surprise. However there was a small change in the release schedule that influenced a lot of the people, including the community. If you are following the release schedule carefully then you might notice the small shift of the release dates. The main reason was the JavaFX support. The support wasn't planned for the NB 6.8 Beta originally. The main reason was that the team working on the support needed more time to stabilize the features for JavaFX SDK 1.2.1 and the new NetBeans APIs. Therefore we wanted to release the FX plugins together with a release candidate.
However it wouldn't be a good message to community that we don't have Java FX support, right? That's why we decided to ship Beta later then expected. So you should have chance to try the Java FX in NB 6.8. It will be in Beta quality and I really don't recommend it for production work. Anyway, it is better then the 6.7! Some features will be disabled as the decision to release it in Beta came in last minute and there isn't enough time to stabilize them more (more in some next post).
What are the pros / cons of the postponed Beta release?
- +More bugs will be fixed. It should mean more stable release.
- +Java FX will be part of the Beta.
- -Community received M2 instead of Beta.
- +but the M2 i in Beta quality already
