Netbeans 6.7 beta is out in the wild
Posted on April 29, 2009
I made the full switch to NetBeans with version 6.1. Since then NetBeans is constantly getting better and more comfortable. The 6.7 release is more a quality release than a feature one. Of course, new features are in it, but many of them are subtle and just make using it more comfortable. The last 1,5 month I am using NetBeans 6.7 developer builds and it feels just good (especially on the Mac).
I really hope that the Oracle/Sun deal doesn’t affect NetBeans in a bad way (maybe in a good way? I am an optimist). I plan to do a full and lengthy coverage of NetBeans 6.7 when a release candidate is here..
Here are the Release Notes of the Beta (full 6.7 here):
- Maven support for the creation of plugins and web services as well as support for POM and J2EE
- Kenai integration enables the creation and editing of Kenai projects from within the IDE
- PHP improvements include Selenium support and SQL code completion
- C++ support for Qt library, remote development and code refactoring
