Thursday August 24, 2006 How to Create Windows Exe Files
Somebody asked recently how you can create Windows exe files from java files in NetBeans. (Yes I know, you shouldn't, since it's supposed to be platform-independend -- but just let's assume that there are users with that usecase.) So Dafe Simonek suggested (and provided) Launch4j Integration, a module allows creation of Windows native executables for Java applications. You can install the module directly in the IDE from the NB extras Update center -- thanks Dafe, very handy!
Also, I just took part in a NetBeans Debugger survey where you can help by quickly telling us how you use the debugger. Even if you don't use it at all, this is valuable feedback too, just click "never" and, if you like, tell us what future feature would make the debugger more useful for you. I myself don't use it much either (but I'm not working as a developer), if I use it, then only for small silly apps that I write over the weekend now and then.
PS: Has anybody tested the new Learning Trails I mentioned yet, hm? If you need to find them on netbeans.org directly, click on (obviously) Docs&Support, then on 5.5, since we prepared the tutorials listed in the learning trails targetting the upcoming 5.5 release. The support page containing the learning trails will of course become the main docs&support index (and be easier to find) after 5.5 releases with the new spiffy design we are working on... :-)
