NetBeans IDE 6.7 Final

NetBeans IDE will provide programmers with a full-featured package of applications which they need to create professional cross-platform desktop, enterprise, web and mobile applications.

Design Swing GUIs intuitively by dragging and dropping GUI components from a palette onto a canvas, then click into JLabels, JButtons, JTextFields and edit the text directly in place. You can even use the GUI builder to prototype GUIs right in front of customers. The NetBeans IDE comes with built-in support for GUI localisation and accessibility.

30. A Generic Desktop Application
    • The NetBeans Platform is a generic desktop application. It provides the services common to almost all large desktop applications: window management, menus, settings and storage, an update manager, and file access. Get a head start by reusing these standard components, allowing you to concentrate fully on your application's business logic.
31. Tools for Rich Client Application (RCP) Development
    • All the tools you need to start building on the NetBeans Platform are included in the IDE
32. Modularity
    • Applications based on the NetBeans Platform can load modules dynamically, so you no longer need to download the entire application to get an upgrade or a new release.
33. Consistency
    • Applications based on the NetBeans Platform are write-once, run-anywhere. Use the platform and the modules you develop as the basis for multiple applications that share common logic.
34. New APIs
    • Use handy IDE features such as the QuickSearch, Toolbars, and the Window System into your own desktop applications and plugins.
