What Will Be the Next Version of NetBeans?

What is your opinion?

http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=nbusers&msgNo=57150

5.0, I think. At least if I take a look at this and that's not a complete list. There's Matisse, plug-in development support, new CVS, profiler, support for JBoss, Weblogic, Struts, JSF, new code completion, error stripe, editor hints, code templates, background scanning, many new refactorings, new Tools | Options, ant debugger, xml editor improvements, module manager, JSP and HTML palette... and other features I can't remember. Sounds rather like a major release to me.

Update: You can vote here. You already know my recommendation... don't forget that besides engineering reasons there are also marketing reasons.

Java Thinks My Workstation is a Server

Thanks to Yarda I have found out that my W2100z workstation is considered by Java as a server on Linux. I've looked into the NetBeans startup log and indeed:

  Java; VM; Vendor      = 1.5.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_04-b05; Sun Microsystems Inc.

I obviously qualify for the server criteria: I have 2 or more processors and 2 or more GB of memory on my workstation. So I've added the option -J-client to netbeans.conf and am curious if there is any noticable difference. According to the table I should not be able to start JVM in client mode on AMD64bit... but I can, at least according to the log. Hmm.

Code Templates in Dailies

Code Templates (aka live templates) were committed to trunk recently. Obviously this is not the most innovative feature to come with but one which is very useful. Code templates help you to write blocks of code easily, e.g. a for cycle. To invoke you can either use code completion (type in for and press Ctrl-Space) or abbreviations (type fori or forc and press Space).

You will also be able to define your own templates and we'll create a set of often used ones. More on this topic later on - once the functionality gets stabilized. Here's a screenshot:

As I've discussed in tram today with my colleague, editor features are important. Developers spend most of their time in editor so even small productivity boosts count.
