| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| Toni Epple has contributed a tutorial to the Community Docs Wiki: A Visual Database Explorer for NetBeans. The main advantage of such a visual component is that it shows how the tables are related (foreign keys). Everything else can be shown in the available tree view as well. Tables and foreign keys can be shown as a graph with the tables being the nodes, and the foreign keys building the edges; a perfect job for the Visual library.</p> |

| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| Are you missing functionality for your scripting language in NetBeans IDE? If so, get ready for 6.0. There, creating editing features, such as syntax coloring, will be really simple. You will not need to know a long list of NetBeans APIs. Instead, you will be able to define your tokens and assign them to features declaratively. To give you a small taste, read "Hello Schliemann" in Geertjan's blog.</p> |
