<p>The second edition of the NetBeans IDE Field Guide has been released (as of May 2006).
The Field Guide provides both an introduction to the IDE and a
task reference "cookbook" for intermediate to advanced users.
The second edition updates the material in the first edition for NetBeans IDE 5.0
and adds totally new chapters on Project Matisse, the new CVS support, support for
Struts and JavaServer Faces technology, profiling, and developer collaboration.</p>
