| <h1>NetBeans IDE 6.1 Information</h1> |
| <p> The NetBeans IDE is a modular, standards-based, integrated |
| development environment (IDE) written in the Java programming language. |
| The NetBeans project consists of an <a |
| href="../../../features/index.html">open source IDE</a> and an <a |
| href="../../../features/platform/index.html">application platform</a>, |
| which can be used as a generic framework to build any kind of |
| application. </p> |
| <h2>Release Overview<br> |
| </h2> |
| <p>The NetBeans IDE 6.1 release provides several new features and enhancements, such as rich JavaScript |
| editing features, support for using the Spring web framework, |
| tighter MySQL integration, and an improved way of sharing libraries among dependent projects. |
| The acclaimed support for Ruby/JRuby has been enhanced with new editor |
| quick fixes, a Ruby platform manager, fast debug support for JRuby, and |
| many other new features and fixes.</p> |
| <p> |
| By popular demand, the bean pattern and JSF CRUD generation |
| features that were missing in the 6.0 release have returned. In |
| addition, early versions of new modules, such as ClearCase support, are |
| available as plugins. |
| </p><p> |
| This release also provides improved performance, |
| especially faster startup (up to 40%), lower memory consumption and |
| improved responsiveness while working with large projects. See below for a |
| list of features in this release. |
