For a major IDE, this could probably be fleshed out a little more. Enochlau 14:16, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, it would be nice if the Swing versus SWT issue was mentioned.

[edit] Language

What language is NetBeans written in? --Spectracide 01:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some suggestions

- It's irrelevant that NetBeans was developed using NetBeans. This should be at best a piece of trivia, and definitely not part of the article's first sentence.

- It is however relevant that NetBeans is written in Java, and this is not mentioned prominently, but only in the NetBeans IDE section.

- NetBeans Platform, as distinct from the NetBeans IDE, should be described wholly in the eponymous subsection. I think developers will agree NetBeans is known primarily for being an IDE. Hence the NetBeans IDE section should also probably come first.

- "Since modules can be developed independently, applications based on the NetBeans platform can be easily and powerfully[citation needed] extended by third party developers." -- "independently" can be combined into the previous sentence; second clause is pure opinion.

- The information about NetBeans 5.5 reads like a sales pitch. ("comprehensive support ... rich client applications"; unqualified "editor enhancements") -- if history of versions is important, then make this a factual separate section.

- "each module provides a well-defined function" -- well-defined is a matter of opinion in this case (not talking about a fixed API, etc.). "Targets a specific function" would probably be more accurate.

- IDE Packs section -- again a sales brochure. "the NetBeans Profiler is able to obtain runtime information on applications that are too large or complex for other profilers" -- really? I think it would be more concise and less presumptuous to detail what the profiler does, and point the reader to more comprehensive documentation about that type of profiling. These statements as written are unqualified claims, and likely to be out of date in the future.

-Please put the tech requirments into the text

[edit] JavaScript Editor

Why is this JavaScript Editor listed with other official Netbeans packs? Isn't this section only for 1st party extensions? --ren 04:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Learn About All Things SOA:: SOA India 2007:: IISc, Bangalore (Nov 21-23)

Aligning IT systems to business needs and improving service levels within the constraints of tight budgets has for long been the topmost challenge for CIOs and IT decision makers. Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) provides a proven strategy to clearly address both of these objectives. Creating more agile information systems and making better use of existing infrastructure are two leading factors that are boosting SOA adoption across large, medium, and small Indian industries from the BFSI, Retail, Telecom, Manufacturing, Pharma, Energy, Government and Services verticals in India. If you are an IT decision maker belonging to any of these verticals, SOA India 2007 (IISc, Bangalore, Nov 21-23 2007) presents a unique opportunity to gather cutting-edge business and technical insights on SOA and other related areas such as BPM, BPEL, Enterprise 2.0, SaaS, MDM, Open Source, and more.
