 						<p style="margin-left:8px;">
 						The NetBeans Team is pleased to announce Milestone 2 of the NetBeans IDE 6.7. The release includes improvements and enhancements to several features: Maven and C/C++ support, the Profiler, SVG components and more.

An enhanced self-diagnostic tool lets users review performance issues, or send a report to the NetBeans team for analysis. The MAC OS X look-and-feel has also been given a cool update.
