| <h1>NetBeans 6.7 Connects Developers: The New Team Menu</h1> |

| <p> |
| <b> |
| If you test NetBeans milestone builds then you already discovered it: |
| We have added a new feature to the NetBeans IDE 6.7, the Team menu. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The Team menu replaces the Versioning menu and unlocks new Connected Developer features. Curious? |
| </b> |
| </p> |
| |
| <br clear="all"> |
| |
| <p> |
| Use the Team menu for... |
| <ul><li> |
| Source Code Management (Subversion, Mercurial, CVS) |
| </li><li> |
| Local file history |
| </li><li> |
| Integrated Connected Developer features for projects hosted on <a href="http://www.kenai.com">Kenai.com</a>: <br> |
| <ul><li> |
| Source code management (Subversion, Mercurial, and Git) |
| </li><li> |
| Issue tracking (Jira and Bugzilla) |
| </li><li> |
| Team wiki, forums, mailing lists |
| </li><li> |
| Document and downloads hosting |
| </li></ul> |
| </li></ul> |
| </p> |

| <h2>Connected Developer Services</h2> |
| |
| <div style="float:right;padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;"> |
| <p><a href="../../images_www/articles/67/team-kenai-netbeans-m3.png" ><img src="../../images_www/articles/67/team-kenai-netbeans-m3-thumb.png" /><br />The integrated Kenai window (Click to zoom)</a></p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Connected Developer services are provided by Kenai.com, |
| a free software project hoster similar to java.net and SourceForge.net. |
| The advantage for NetBeans users is that all Kenai.com services are tightly integrated into the NetBeans IDE. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>NetBeans IDE and Kenai</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The NetBeans IDE gives you direct access to all project management related actions: |
| </p><p> |
| When team members run into a bug, they can report it from within the IDE. |
| Another team member sees the issue in the Kenai window, opens the report, submits a patch and closes the issue — all within the NetBeans IDE. |
| </p> |
| |
| <br clear="all"> |
| |
| <h2>Upcoming Features: Team Communication</h2> |
| |
| <div class="bg-bege" style="float:right;width:260px;padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;"> |
| <b class="notes">Did you know?</b> The upcoming Connected Developer Chat interface replaces the Collaboration menu provided by the <a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/articles/quickstart-collaboration.html">Developer Collaboration</a> plugin in previous versions of the NetBeans IDE. |
| </div> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Kenai integration in NetBeans IDE 6.7 will soon offer an integrated chat system that keeps you in touch with your project members all over the globe. |
| </p><p> |
| Using the NetBeans IDE, a team of developers will be able to check out, discuss, edit, debug, build, and commit code through one easy-to-use interface. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| More features, such as continuous build integration, will be added over time. |
