| tour, and launched an exciting, new initiative that focuses on NetBeans plug-in
|
| development entitled Desafio NetBeans. Find out more in this article from Ruth

| Hibernate Plug-in for NetBeans 5.0
|
| Via Petr Blaha's weblog: Many developers don't like EJB, JDO technologies and
|
| they are using other object/relational persistance and query service for Java
|
| like Hibernate. Hibernate lets you develop persistant classes following common
|
| Java idiom. The plug-in for Hibernate in NetBeans was missing until recently.

| Adding Libraries While Creating Applications
|
| When creating a web application, you probably know which libraries you're going to
|
| need. Taking the extra step of using the Library Manager is a waste of your time.
|
| If you read this blog entry in Geertjan's blog, you'll find out how to create a
|
| very simple NetBeans module that enables you to select your libraries from the New
|
| Web Application wizard:

| Recently made available as a public API, the NetBeans Graph library supports
|
| visual modelling of source code elements - or any kind of diagrammable model.

| Meet NetBeans Module Writer Sandip Chitale
|
| A week or two ago, James Gosling attended a demonstration that blew him away. The
|
| smoothness of module development in NetBeans IDE 5.0 really surprised him. Meet
|
| the man behind that demonstration: Sandip Chitale, Senior Staff Engineer for Sun
|
| Java Studio Creator. In this interview, Sandip shares his opinions openly and
|
| discusses some of the modules he's been working on. Plus, you get to download them
|
| and try them out yourself!

| Collaboration Module Quickstart
|
| Talk code with the other developers live over the network, be it in your local
|
| team or on another continent. NetBeans Developer Collaboration lets you chat and
|
| share code while keeping syntax coloring, project file structure and formatting
|
| intact.

|
| You Too Can Extend the Component Palette
|
| Even if you never thought of developing modules before, it's a good idea to give
|
| it a go anyway, especially if you're a web developer. In NetBeans IDE 5.0, web
|
| developers have a component palette with code snippets (chunks of JSP and HTML
|
| tags) that they can drag into their JSP file or HTML file. However, it's very
|
| easy to create modules that add additional code snippets to the Component Palette
|
| and to then share the snippets with other developers -- just create a quick
|
| NetBeans module containing your code snippets, generate an NBM file, and then
|
| distribute the NBM file to whoever needs it. For details, see Geertjan's blog:
