| NetBeans reviewed by Network Computing |
| NetBeans 4.1 has been reviewed on networkcomputing.com. "It's been a long time |
| since an IDE excited me as much as NetBeans 4.1. Snappy performance on a new |
| build of Swing coupled with features such as refactor and no-code Web services as |
| well as its ability to generate and interact with multiple types of beans and |
| it's free?" |

| JBoss Plug-in Available on the Beta Update Center |
| The early access version of the server plugin for the JBoss 4 server is now |
| available on the Beta Update Center for NetBeans 4.1. The features of the plugin |
| include: |
| * Ability to register a local installation of JBoss 4.0.x |
| * Starting and stopping the server, basic management features |
| * Deployment of J2EE Applications, EJB Modules and Web Modules |
| * Debugging applications in JBoss |
| * Minimal handling of JBoss-specific deployment descriptors |
| To try out the JBoss plugin, download it from the Beta Update Center in |
| NetBeans 4.1. Select Tools -> Update Center and make sure that NetBeans |
| Update Center Beta is selected. |
| |
| JBuilder Project Module for NetBeans IDE 4.1 |
| A new module is available which allows you to migrate your JBuilder Project to |
| NetBeans IDE 4.1. You can find the write-up on the module |
| here <<a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/archive/index.html">https://netbeans.org/kb/archive/index.html</a>>. |
| You can download it from the NetBeans Update Center Beta today. You need to be |
| running NetBeans 4.1. Once installed you can go to : |
| File > Import > Builder2005 J2SE Project and open the wizard. Remember it is |
| Beta - so if you have feedback you should share it. Basically you enter the |
| location of the JBuilder file (.jpx) and then select Finish. NetBeans then leaves |
| the files where they are and the importer then creates a NetBeans project for the |
| selected JBuilder project. Coupled with the new |
| Eclipse Project Import module <<a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/archive/index.html">https://netbeans.org/kb/archive/index.html</a>> |
| - these convenience modules are useful for those developers transitioning from |
| Eclipse and JBuilder to NetBeans. |
| |
