 <p>Preparation for NetBeans Day and JavaOne are well underway and we hope to see as many of you there as possible. For everything NetBeans there is no other place to be.

 <p>NetBeans.org website traffic, mailing list subscriptions, and downloads are higher now than ever. A better IDE, greater community involvement, and tremendous industry support are a few of the driving forces. Your participation too, helps drive both the NetBeans project and the organization of our first NetBeans Day!

 <p>Here is another way to get involved. Have you ever dreamed of being a writer and having your work published? Well, this is your chance. Write a how-to, design a tutorial, perform an interview, create a flash presentation and tell us how you use NetBeans or why you love it. It is your story, so tell the world what you think they should know about NetBeans! If your story is published in the Edge we will send you a NetBeans T-shirt. Send your story at any time to <a href="mailto:nbmarketing@netbeans.org">nbmarketing@netbeans.org</a>.

 <p>With our foot on the pedal we are speeding onward. A new website design premiers in late June and a NetBeans 4.0 beta follows in early July. Put your seat belt on because NetBeans is taking off!

 <p>See you next month when you stay one step ahead with the NetBeans Edge!</font></td>

 <p>Sun Meets Global Demand for Alternative Desktop - The new Java Desktop System delivers a rich development environment for Linux and Java developers which includes the NetBeans IDE 3.6.

 <p><a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1579413,00.asp">eWeek Reviews the NetBeans IDE</a> - With unusual breadth of support for many types of Java projects, especially in such an inexpensive tool (freely downloadable or $9.95 on CD), NetBeans.org's NetBeans 3.6 maintains the open-source community's brisk pace of standards-based innovation while paving the way for important refinements of the Java language and platform.

 <p><a href="http://www.itworld.com/AppDev/716/040510javaleap/pfindex.html">Java set for a big leap forward</a> - To maximize Java, Gosling suggested the usage of IDE (integrated development environment) tools that can assist in the whole development process. "There are tools for just about everybody," said Gosling. Come highly recommended is the NetBeans IDE which, said Gosling, is a core development tool which is also a platform for other tools being as extensible as NetBeans is.

 <p><a href="http://www.softwarereality.com/reviews/netbeans36.jsp">Review: NetBeans 3.6 Usability</a> - Note that this is more of a usability review than a feature review. NetBeans is big on features (<a href="https://netbeans.org/community/releases/36/Whats_New.html">here's a list</a> of what's new in 3.6 - its impressive). The feature list is one of NetBeans' major strong points. So if we take that as read, let's focus on the areas of this powerful IDE that really need improvement.

 <p>NetBeans 4.0 to Feature Refactoring, Ant Integration - While NetBeans 3.6, which shipped in mid-April, sported a new interface, NetBeans 4.0, which is slated to ship in August, will feature a new project system that works with Apache Ant and will support changes in the Java programming language.</font></td>

Their initial goal was to provide a tool for teachers and professors that automates the correction of student work.  In the end, they have developed something with much wider applicability - a front end to JUnit which greatly simplifies and speeds the production of unit test scripts. At the same time, it gives the developer absolute flexibility in modifying these scripts to satisfy their unique requirements.

 <p><i>TG</i> does the following:
 <ul><li>Reads a Java class's  properties and converts them to XML for easy manipulation;
 <li>Displays the class and its components in a  browsable tree;
 <li>Allows tests to be appended to each of the public methods;
 <li>Provides a 'tool box' for adding common test elements - asserts, try catch blocks etc., to each test as it is built in a separate editor pane;
 <li>Uses a built in syntax highlighting editor for working on the tests;
 <li>Generates a native Java test case from the collection of tests;
 <li>Compiles and runs the test case;
 <li>Saves reloadable tests both as XML and as Java code.
 </li></ul>

 TG incorporates numerous other features, which can be investigated by running the <a href="http://cit3.cdn.swin.edu.au/tg/downloads">beta webstart version</a> also <a href="http://cit3.cdn.swin.edu.au/majorprojects_2004/js/downloads/webstart/TGW.jnlp">available here</a>.

 <p>There is an extensive help system for assisting with those aspects of the system which are not immediately obvious.  Any feedback is very welcome  - use the 'About' page for contact details, or the project home page at:
 <ul><li><a href="http://cit3.cdn.swin.edu.au/tg/">http://cit3.cdn.swin.edu.au/tg/</a></li></ul>

 Phase two of the project will involve the development test control and distribution systems.  We are hoping to make this an official NetBeans project.  NetBeans is used by all our java students, and one option we will certainly be looking at is to integrate TG into the NetBeans IDE.</p></font></td>
