| <h1>NetBeans 6.0 Seen and Heard at Javapolis 2007</h1> |
| <span style="font-style: italic;">January 2008</span><br> |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| The NetBeans team and community received an auspicious start to the recent |
| Javapolis 2007 conference when James Gosling expressed excitement about the |
| newly released NetBeans 6.0 IDE in his keynote address.<br> |
| <br> |
| Speaking a month ago in Antwerp, Belgium, to three conference halls packed with |
| developers, Gosling singled out for praise key features of the new |
| version of the NetBeans IDE, including smarter code completion, refactoring |
| and navigation in the improved editor. He extolled NetBeans' extended |
| support for other programming languages, such as C, C++, Ruby, Jruby, |
| JavaScript, and PHP, further adding that developers could also work with |
| independently-created languages in the IDE.<br> |

| Proving that there is no stronger endorsement than one from the |
| renowned father of Java, flocks of conference attendees descended |
| on the NetBeans booth for first-hand demos from NetBeans |
| technology evangelist Brian Leonard, who noted that many were Eclipse |
| users with keen interests in project import and key bindings support.<br> |
| <br> |
| The introduction of JasperSoft's <a |
| href="http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=4425">IReport |
| for NetBeans</a> plugin also made a comparable splash at the five-day |
| conference. IReport founder and lead engineer Giulio Toffoli took the |
| stage, with Gosling watching on, to give a well-received demo of the |
| plugin. An impressive number of developers visited the neighboring |
| JasperSoft booth afterwards and conveyed their excitement about IReport and |
| NetBeans's integration.<br> |
