I'd probably put more parts into the second chapter and less into the
third ... if You add a part about language support, it will already need
quite some sub-chapters (language support in general [coloring, code
folding, code completion, refactoring, guarded blocks, hints as warnings
and with refactoring, embedding other languages like Javascript in HTML,
XML support], doing about everything manually, using Antlr, using JavaCC).
What about visual library and Java Source API?
Just some ideas ;-)

Subject: Re: Apache NetBeans Apress Book
Broadly, I think such a book should be split into three parts, each of
which could be split into about 5 chapters:
Part 1: Using Apache NetBeans
Part 2: Extending Apache NetBeans
Part 3: Contributing to Apache NetBeans

Hi All:
Agreed there is the need of a chapter-by-chapter community written book.
Count me in. Even if there is the need for the book, once written, of a
single translator for the whole community content.
Even everyone of us has English as a mother tongue or second tongue, we
may able to reach and target new markets and new loyal fellows in this
world wide world we live in

Subject: Re: Apache NetBeans Apress Book
Hi all,
I like the idea of a community-written book very much. This can encourage
people to join
our great community and it show that netbeans is now a apache project ...
For me the
community is one of the most important facts to work with netbeans and
rarely with eclipse.
I have some experience with writing a book for Tomcat 5:
https://www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/tomcat-5_700/
and the most important thing I have learned from this book project is:
better not to write
such books alone.
It would be a pleasure for me to write a chapter for a community-written
Netbeans book, or
may be to translate from english to german some parts, if we want to have
a german
version.
But I have less experience in organzing such things. In scientific
communities typically you
have an editor or a small team of editors. Their job is often really a lot
of work: to defines the
chapters/articles, to find people who can write the articles and to push
the authors to deliver
in the timeline.
An other question is where and how to publish the book. My experience with
the Tomcat
book was that the publisher was a really great help in formatting and
proofreading. And a
publisher can be a very big help in invertising for apache netbeans.
But it should be also possible to write the book without a publisher at
our own. In this case
we can have an open-pdf-Version of the book. Maye we can have this too
with a publisher?
best regards
Oliver
I've been approached by Apress regarding interest in a book on Apache
NetBeans. I personally do not have enough time to devote to another book
right now, so I wanted to send a note to the Apache NetBeans developer
group to see if there are any developers interested in authoring a book
(perhaps a collaborative effort).
I know things are very busy right now, and I've already told Apress that
the main focus is the release of Apache NetBeans 9 right now, but maybe a
book project could start this fall. There are no timelines right
now...just interest in a book on the new open Apache NetBeans IDE.
If anyone is interested then reply to this message and I can get a list
of
names together to send along to Apress.
Thanks
Josh Juneau
