NetBeans 6.0 ships
You may have read by now that NetBeans 6.0
has shipped - at least the English version.
With NetBeans 6.0, the team has succeeded in consolidating all of Sun's
IDEs into a single product. Remember that we used to have separate IDEs
for visual development, Enterprise development, etc. The feedback we
got was that while it was convenient for us to think of our users in
mutiple quadrants, the users did not think of themselves that way! In
addition, NetBeans 6.0 introduces support for Ruby and has become the
best IDE for Ruby.
This has been a huge effort by the NetBeans team. They were given a
target to ship before the end of the calendar year. They made it with a
month to spare! Congratulations to them.
This release is receiving huge accolades from just about everyone who
has used it - even from some of NetBeans' harshest critics in the past.
Here is a sampling:
