NetBeans Progresses toward 6.7 Major Release
The NetBeans team is inviting the community to assess whether the current NetBeans 6.7 (Release Candidate 2) is ready for FCS release. The team has created a Community Acceptance Survey, where NetBeans 6.7 users can provide the development team with their assessment of RC2:
Is NetBeans IDE 6.7 ready for FCS release? If you have already downloaded and tested the latest Release Candidate build, we would like to know what you think. Please follow the link below and tell us about your experience! The survey will be opened till June 18th.
NetBeans 6.7 is a major release that includes integrated support within the IDE for Kenai-hosted projects, via the new Kenai window and the new Team menu for Kenai project management. What`s significant about this is that it facilitates coordinated development for development teams whose members are geographically separated. In essence, Kenai integration makes NetBeans a superb platform for "development in the cloud," precisely what`s needed for open source projects.
James Gosling has been enthusiastic about NetBeans 6.7 since he began using the beta version in April:
It`s real impressive: there`s a lot more to NB 6.7 than the developer cloud, but the cloud support is the standout feature. We`re just beginning, but it`s already transformed the way I work.
NetBeans 6.7 also includes:
* native support for Maven
* GlassFish and Hudson integration
* enhancements to Java, PHP, Ruby, Groovy, and C/C++
* support for JavaScript 1.7
* SVG rich components
See the NetBeans IDE 6.7 Release Information for more details.
Among the things that set NetBeans apart from other IDEs is that it is by nature customizable to the user`s needs. It is designed to be extensible. The background NetBeans vision is driven largely by the fact that NetBeans really is a community project. There are multiple mailing lists, a #netbeans IRC channel, and you can follow NetBeans on Twitter.
The NetBeans community is large and diverse. Serving that community as resulted in a powerful IDE with more features and capabilities than an individual developer is likely to use. For this reason, significant effort was put into NetBeans 6.7 to ensure that it fits itself to the user`s needs. The IDE is not monolithic: features that you as an individual developer aren`t using are not automatically loaded. In other words, the IDE automatically tailors itself to what you`re working on, saving you time and computer memory.
The NetBeans 6.7 Community Acceptance Survey
The NetBeans 6.7 Community Acceptance Survey is another illustration of the community aspect of NetBeans development. From now through June 18, the community is invited to test and assess NetBeans 6.7 RC2 and provide feedback through the survey. The survey specifically asks for feedback regarding:
* Connected developer featurs (Kenai integration)
* Maven integration
* Editor improvements
* Features on demand
* Performance (compared with NetBeans 6.5.x)
* Overall quality (compared with NetBeans 6.5.x)
* Improvements you`d like to see in the next release
* Any other comments
