NetBeans 6.0's New Code Editing Features
posted Thursday, 19 October 2006
| One area where the NetBeans team is dramatically overhauling NetBeans IDE is the editor. NetBeans 6.0's code editor will be dramatically better than the existing editor. Obviously, there is a desire to beat Eclipse across the board - from code editing to standards support to advanced developer tools. Roman Strobl mentioned the availability of a partial list of new code editing features in NetBeans 6.0's editor. Roman pointed to this living document with a partial list of the upcoming changes. There is a wonderful rapidity to the addition of new features in NetBeans. If you look at the last year - we can see NetBeans 5.0 and the newly released NetBeans | BlueJ Edition released not to mention two other concurrent ongoing projects - NetBeans 5.5 which will be due at the end of the month and NetBeans 6.0. This is not to mention all the cool stuff also happening - the Enterprise Pack, the Visual Web Pack, C/C++ Native Pack, Jackpot and of course the Mobility Pack and the Profiler. The transformation of the code editor is a welcome new change - but if you look at the collage of current changes and new features in NetBeans - it is pretty staggering. Check out some of the new editor features here. |
