| NetBeans IDE 4.1/5.0 Profiler Tutorial |
| This tutorial will show you how to use the NetBeans Profiler to monitor the creation |
| of objects by an application (memory leak detection), to determine the CPU time used |
| by an application's methods (speed optimization), and to monitor the runtime behavior |
| of an application (heap memory size, garbage collection statistics, thread count, |
| thread state). |

| Buildling A Complete NetBeans Platform Application |
| In this article, Tom Wheeler shows you how easy it is to create your own application |
| based on the NetBeans platform. Among others, he discusses the source and |
| configuration files common to all modules, how to separate interface from |
| implementation for greater flexibility, and how to "brand" the NetBeans platform to |
| use your own menus, labels and graphics. |

| NetBeans End-2-End Demo |
| This demo is designed to showcase NetBeans' end-2-end application development support - |
| J2EE to J2SE to J2ME. Along the way, we'll showcase many of the useful features found |
| in NetBeans, such as refactoring and HTTP monitoring. We start be showing NetBeans' |
| support for creating EJBs by creating a CMP entity bean. We then create a simple Java |
| object to show how easy it is to call the EJB. Then we create a JSP to show NetBeans |
| support for JSP syntax and the Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL). Along the way, we'll |
| demonstrate the HTTP monitor, refactoring support and the graphical deployment |
| descriptor editors. We'll then expose the JEE application as a web service. Finally, |
| we'll create a MIDlet that accesses the J2EE application and showcases the MIDlet |
| visual designer. |

| New: SQL Editor in NetBeans IDE 5.0 |
| One of the features in NetBeans IDE 5.0 that not many people seem to know about is... |
| the new SQL Editor! When you use the IDE to make calls to a database, you now have a |
| lot of functionality to support you -- such as syntax highlighting and a pop-up menu |
| with menu items such as cut/copy/paste. And, if you're still missing some |
| functionality, why not use plug-in module wizards in NetBeans IDE 5.0 to extend the SQL |
| Editor? It's all described here, in Geertjan's blog: |

| Mevenide 0.9 for NetBeans IDE 4.1 and 5.0 Beta |
| A new 0.9 release of Mevenide for NetBeans has been released. It includes multiple |
| bugfixes, doesn't require Maven to be installed anymore and works with the new NetBeans |
| 5.0 beta. If you already have mevenide installed, use the autoupdate center to upgrade. |
| You can also download it at the mevenide site. |
