| Building a desktop application on top of the NetBeans Platform can save years of development time. |
| </strong></p> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| The NetBeans Platform is a generic framework for Swing applications. |
| It provides the "plumbing" that, before, every developer |
| had to write themselves—saving state, connecting |
| actions to menu items, toolbar items and keyboard shortcuts; window |
| management, and so on. |
| <p/> |
| <p> |
| The NetBeans Platform |
| provides all of these out of the box. You don't need |
| to manually code these or other basic features, yourself, anymore. |
| See what <a href="https://platform.netbeans.org/screenshots.html">some NetBeans-based applications |
| look like</a>. The platform does not add a lot of overhead to |
| your application — but it can save a huge amount of time and work. |
| <p/> |
| </td></tr></table> |
| <p>The NetBeans Platform provides a reliable |
| and flexible application architecture. Your application |
| <a href="https://netbeans.org/images_www/screenshots/platform/blueMarine.jpg"> |
| does not have to look anything |
| like an IDE</a>. It can save you years of development time. |
| The NetBeans Platform gives you a time-tested |
| architecture for free. An architecture that encourages |
| sustainable development practices. |
| Because the NetBeans Platform architecture |
| is modular, it's easy to create applications that are robust |
| and extensible. |
