Netbeans 4 released
I was just visiting the Netbeans website and noticed that they have released Netbean 4.0. From the Netbeans website:
The NetBeans open source project is proud to announce that the production version of NetBeans IDE 4.0 is now available as an individual download and will shortly be bundled with Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit 5.0_01 (J2SE 5.0 a.k.a. “Tiger”). The NetBeans IDE provides a pure Java technology integrated development environment for Windows, Linux, the Solaris Operating System and Mac OS X.
Key Features:
- Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 (J2SE) language feature support
- Ant-based projects
- Java refactoring
- Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) MIDP development support
- Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) development support for the NetBeans IDE - Early Access 1 now, Early Access 2 early CY2005, production first half CY2005
- Performance Profiler - Beta in December
I have yet to play with it very much, but the little that I have used has shown that Netbeans 4.0 is a huge improvement over 3.6. Look for a more indepth review here in the near future.
