Still A Fan Of NetBeans IDE After Five Years!

rdelaplante — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:06:30 +0000

I've been using NetBeans as my primary IDE for about five years. In 2011 I decided to try working with Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA for a few months to see what I'm missing out on since they are supposed to be better. I put effort into learning keybindings and learning to work their way. Maybe it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but I find myself coming back to NetBeans because of the way...

jy98215 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:01:25 +0000

This demonstration is about the new Shelve and Un-Shelve functionality in NetBeans. It currently works with projects which use Subversion, or Mercurial for source control. Shelving changes allows the developer to save project changes externally from the source control system for application later. This leaves the original files unchanged. Un-shelving is applying those saved changes to the...

Extending the Downloadable NetBeans Platform for ANT Builds Feature

javydreamercsw — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:58:42 +0000

I saw the great article by Toni Epple and got really interested in the Downloadable NetBeans Platform for ANT builds feature. I already wondered what the platform.download task was since NetCat 7.1.

myfear — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:06:27 +0000
