NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 1 is available


NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 1

The NetBeans IDE is a modular, standards-based, integrated development environment (IDE) written in the Java programming language. The NetBeans project consists of an open source IDE and an application platform, which can be used as a generic framework to build any kind of application.

The focus of NetBeans IDE 6.0 is improved developer productivity through a smarter, faster editor, and the integration of all NetBeans products into one IDE. Please download it. The NetBeans IDE 6.0 is scheduled to be released in November 2007.

Before you install the IDE, the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 Update 12 (version 1.5.0_12) or newer must be installed on your system. If you do not have an installation of JDK 5.0 Update 12 or newer, you cannot proceed with the installation.
