| <h1>NetBeans IDE Strikes Twice at Jolt Awards</h1> |
| <i>March 5, 2008</i><br> |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| The NetBeans IDE is a two-time Jolt Award winner! <br> |
| <br> |
| The NetBeans IDE 6.0 beat out five other finalists to nab the "Best |
| Development Environment" honor at the <a |
| href="http://www.joltawards.com/press/030608.htm">18th Annual Jolt Product Excellence |
| Awards</a> gala ceremony held at the SD West Conference in Santa Clara, |
| California.<br> |
| <br> |
| Last night's presentation marks the second year in a row that the |
| NetBeans IDE has won the development environment group. (<a |
| href="https://netbeans.org/community/articles/jolt2007.html">Version |
| 5.5 won the previous year</a>.) NetBeans also earned repeat |
| “Productivity Awards” in two categories: Web Development Tool and |
| Mobility Development Tool (with Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2).<br> |
| <br> |
| The NetBeans IDE that impressed Jolt judges this year is a sleeker and |
| more enhanced tool than its predecessor. After last year's win, the IDE |
| underwent a major overhaul and acquired a faster and smarter editor, |
| support for dynamic languages such as Ruby, a new Visual Game Designer, |
| integrated profiling, and many more features. NetBeans 6.0 was released |
| in December 2007.<br> |
| <br> |
| Accepting the Jolt awards for NetBeans, Senior Director of Engineering |
| Octavian Tanase thanked the NetBeans community, engineering teams and |
| partner companies for the collective effort that has transformed the |
| IDE into the powerful and feature-rich tool that continues to impress |
| industry experts and developers worldwide. <br> |
| <br> |
| Jolt awards celebrate the most innovative, trend-making, |
| ahead-of-the-curve products in the software industry.<br> |
| <br> |
| Congratulations to the NetBeans community! |
