| NetBeans xDesign Team
|
| Did you ever wonder why your IDE's windows float and slide? Where do
|
| Wizards come from? How many icons are in the IDE? And who put them
|
| there? Hear it straight from the only ones who can claim to have worked
|
| on every single IDE component -- and get invited to Prague.

| So You've Got A TTV...
|
| So, you've used the NetBeans APIs to implement a tree table view. The
|
| nodes are in the Y axis and the properties in the X axis.
|
| Congratulations! But do you know how easy it is to let the user click
|
| on the column headers to sort the rows? Either ascending or descending?

| HTML Authoring in NetBeans IDE
|
| Tim Boudreau has a very useful set of NetBeans modules for authoring
|
| HTML in the IDE. He adds project support for HTML folders, a navigator
|
| for HTML files, and a host of other advanced features that make writing
|
| HTML in the IDE much much easier. You can download the modules straight
|
| from his blog:

| JFugue API Gathering Even More Speed
|
| "Offering a musical equivalent of the simple Note Pad application, the
|
| JFugue Music NotePad project combines the NetBeans API with the
|

|
| announced java.net. Dave Koelle, the creator of the JFugue API, also
|
| wrote to say that Elliotte Rusty Harold's "Cafe au Lait"
|
| (www.cafeaulait.org/) has a focus on JFugue as well. Check it out --
