I am going to take this opportunity to give a bit of information about NetBeans Developer. www.netbeans.com Within the month (so by the end of this week) we will be releasing the public beta of our 3.0 product. Currently, for those bleeding-edge addicts, you can download pre-beta Developer 3.0 from our EAP (Early Access Program) site: www.netbeans.com/eap.html Developer is implemented completely in java and is by far the most feature rich IDE available for true cross platform development. Developer 3.0 Entry includes: * Advanced Swing support for design of user interfaces; our Form Editor generates exceptionally clean code with no special comments or proprietary classes. * New, faster editor with syntax coloring supports time-saving functionality like dynamic source code completion. * New Object Browser allows you to filter through and then browse your hierarchy of Packages, Objects and Object Members. * Multi-threaded debugger allows you to set watches, threads and breakpoints * Auto-update to dynamically upgrade the IDE with new features Further modules are available through Pro and Enterprise editions that allow for integration with JNDI, JDBC, CORBA, RMI, EJB, XML, JAR packaging, version control, Servlets/JSP. I am running the current EAP build for all of my development. Everything works with the jdk1.2p2 (after fixing the font issue, see list archives for the fix -- search on 'font'). The website will be updated when the public beta is released, but I would encourage all of you interested to take the time to join our EAP list (which you may join now), you will have access to the most recent builds and it will hopefully provide another channel for feedback from java developers.
