Boeing Shows NetBeans-Based Rich Client Platform Applications [Screencast]
posted Friday, 3 July 2009
 | The NetBeans Platform is one of the best ways to get a rich-client platform (RCP) application up and running. | There are so many facilities for a developer to use that gets the app up and running quickly that it provides an excellent application platform. This hasn't gone unnoticed to a number of large, medium and small companies - there are lots of NetBeans RCP apps out there. Many of them provide critical services to companies. Boeing is one of the companies that is leveraging the NetBeans Platform. Boeing has created a very sophisticated shared platform called the Mass Toolkit and the Boeing Shared Platform. They have created a number of applications on the Boeing Shared Platform, such as - a structural analysis application (Common Structures Workstation, CSW2), a composite material analysis application (SIFT), a cross- sectional structural analysis app (XSA).

You can listen to the presentation, Creating Better Applications at Boeing with the NetBeans Platform Application Framework, on this topic at SDN. The applications are discussed and the approach to building these apps using the Mass and Boeing Shared Platform are discussed. They discuss how they ported Swing apps to the NetBeans Platform (remember that NetBeans is based on Swing so it is relatively easy). They also discuss module development, modifying the platform and a number of other best practices. [Thanks for the pointer to Geertjan/NetBeans DZone] | |
