In the first of a series of technology sessions, Tim Boudreau (blog) a NetBeans Core and Rich Client Platform engineer and evangelist gave a talk, Writing NetBeans Modules and Using the NetBeans (Rich Client) Platform. The presentation is available in PDF form here. The talk delved at some depth on the details of building NetBeans Rich Client Platform applications. Tim covered a lot of ground explaining what the NetBeans platform was, why modularity was important in software development, the structures of modules in | NetBeans, the Update Center, Lookup APIs and patterns, the NetBeans file system, the DataSystems API, what Nodes are, Global Lookup Registration and much along the way he showed examples and gave demos of building plugins (aka modules). Finally, upon a request from a developer he showed software development, the structures of modules in NetBeans, the Update Center, Lookup APIs and patterns, the NetBeans file system, the DataSystems API, what Nodes are, Global Lookup Registration and much along the way he showed examples and gave demos of building plugins (aka modules). Finally, upon a request from a developer he showed how to migrate Eclipse projects to NetBeans (using the Eclipse Project Import plugin). You can look at NetBeans Rich Client Platform tutorials below to get started : Note that you can find many, many more tutorials on RCP and plugin development here. If you are in the Northwest (U.S.) area and are interested in future sessions (currently Java's Persistence APIs and EJB 3.0 and Solaris Zones are topics high on the list for next month) drop me an email with a subject line : "Northwest Sun Technology Series".
