The book was published before the migration to Apache, but I think it is the most recent NetBeans Platform publication. Hope that helps.

However I have been using Eclipse for the last few years specifically to build scientific software using Eclipse RCP. I have my issues with Eclipse’s Rich Client Platform – specifically lack of documentation and perhaps how counter-intuitive it appears, yet I am drawn to using it because of support of other features (like web application development) and how many applications seem to built using it (maybe exposure bias on my part). I would like to know if anyone has any insight on market adoption of Netbeans for RCP? And are there any up to date resources/documentation?
