A thriving open source communityOpen source since June, 2000

Large community of users and developers

Started as a student project at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

Plan - Develop Network-enabled Java Beans components.

Jarda Tulach, part of the original team, came up with the name NetBeans to describe what they would doNetwork + Java Beans = NetBeans

Sun purchased in 1999 and open sourced in 2000

What is NetBeans?

Cool Features > Profiler

What is NetBeans?

Find performance bottlenecks and memory leaks

Profile entire application or subset

Task-based profilingCPU, Thread State, Memory

New 6.5 featuresComparing Memory snapshots

Drill-down graph

Memory Heap Walker

JMeter integration

Dynamic attach on JDK 6

The NetBeans Profiler started out as a research project at Sun Labs. The goal of that research was to find a better way to profile Java applications, in particular, large Java applications. Older techniques for profiling Java applications did not always scale well. Once the proof of concept was complete, the technology moved over to the NetBeans project and became the profiler.

Cool Features > Mobile Development

What is NetBeans?

Support for Java ME CLDC/CDCSun Wireless Toolkit included

Redesigned Visual Mobile DesignerDrag 'n drop MIDP authoring

New Game Builder supporting MIDP 2.0 Game API

SVG UI Support

.

Anyone here own a cell phone? :-)

The Java Micro Edition, or Java ME, runs on over a billion hand-held devices around the world. It turns out, though, that developing for Java ME on these devices presents some specific challenges: different screen sizes, different hardware and software features available, etc. The NetBeans Mobility Pack provides some really cool tools to help developers with those challenges.

Cool Features > C/C++ Development

What is NetBeans?

Full Edit-Compile-Debug project support and editorCode completion, folding, syntax highlighting, error highlighting

Makefile wizard/import

Remote Development

Support for application packaging

Works with GCC & Sun Studio compilersSupport for GDB debugging

For folks who are doing C/C++ development we have support!

Cool Features > Visual Web Development

What is NetBeans?

Visual drag 'n drop web application development

Includes AJAX JavaServer Faces Components

Visual Page Navigation

Visual CSS Editing

There's a bit of history to explain here. A few years ago a group at Sun created an IDE called Java Studio Creator. They wanted to create a special-purpose tool that addressed a specific use case: developers who were creating web application user interfaces and who wanted a graphical drag-n-drop approach. So JSC was created as a tool that did just that.In order to create the tool, the JSC team removed some features from the NetBeans IDE and then added some cool visual web application design tools. And that's fine, and JSC has a devoted audience of users who are happy with it.But members of the NetBeans community looked at it and some said: That's nice, but I only want to install one IDE. Can I have those JSC features in a standard NetBeans installation? That's why the Visual Web Pack was created. Note that there are still a few gaps between JSC and VWP functionality.

(Quick demo of VWP if you have time)

Demo 1

The best enterprise OS on the planet.

The TCP/IP stack has been reworked for both performance and security.

Soundbite: Solaris 10 can run on more than 799 different systems, including those from Dell, HP, and IBM. No other enterprise class UNIX can do this. It's the result of a 1/2 Billion investment and 3000 engineers.

500,000 downloads in the first 10 days, a download/second!!!!!!

2/3rd of downloads were X86

Formerly known as project Matisse

Issues building GUIs without Swing GUI Builder:Complex Swing APIs

e.g. GridBagLayout

Resizing and alignment is hard

Handling of locales is hard

Different OS behaviors

Binding data to your GUI

New layout manager GroupLayout in Java 6

Netbeans handles these for you!

Rich Client Platform (RCP) NetBeans was the first

IDE allows you to develop plugins for the RCP module project

Many complex applications built on NetBeans RCP For Example:IReport

Boeing Shared Platform

And here are some more...


This is an application done by a graduate student in Italy. He built a robot car and this is the application he uses to control it the application is built on the NetBeans Platform.

This is Vbuilder, from Nuance Communications in California. They do call processing software, so when you call an airline or a bank and hear the standard press 1 to continue, press 0... etc that's the stuff they do. This application is part of what they deliver, and it was built on the NetBeans Platform.

MINEX was developed by a mining company in Australia to provide their geologists with tools to help them figure out where to do mining.

BlueMarine is an open source application for managing photos. As you can see, it's pretty cool looking! :-)
