Java IDE market gets tighter with Version 5.0's tech upgrades, new Matisse GUI builder
Tutorial Details:
Summary
NetBeans 5.0 is an intuitive, well-designed Java development platform with superb collaboration capabilities and several remarkable features, including the new Matisse GUI builder.
NetBeans 5.0 is a substantial upgrade to what was already a very solid IDE. This release reveals many new features, enhancements, and a slight repositioning, as Sun attempts to shine the spotlight on aspects that take NetBeans beyond the pure-play IDE.
Several NetBeans features lack direct counterparts in competing products, so it will be of great interest to sites that have specific needs such as designing GUIs for desktop Java applications and intensive collaboration requirements.
Into the IDE
The NetBeans IDE is a well-designed environment for developing Java. It is more intuitive than Eclipse and, as opposed to that product, it does not get in the way of developing. You can create a complex project, code away, import resources, and build and debug the executable in NetBeans without ever looking at tutorials or consulting the help system. That's an almost impossible feat for a first-time user in Eclipse.
These capabilities illustrate a basic tenet of NetBeans: Tools are integrated such that you never have to leave the environment to perform development-related work. You'll also find an integrated database explorer and an HTTP inspector (to see what data is sent to the Web app and exactly what data is returned), among other bundled tools.
The other Java IDEs
The Java IDE market is currently a four-way battlefield between Eclipse, NetBeans, Oracle JDeveloper, and JetBrains' IntelliJ. (Borland's lack of updates for JBuilder and the company's announcement that it is trying to find a buyer for the product preclude its inclusion in this list.)
