<h1>NetBeans IDE 6.7 Release Information</h1>
<p>
The NetBeans IDE is an award-winning integrated development
environment available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris. 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>
that enable developers to rapidly create
web, enterprise, desktop, and mobile applications using the Java
platform, as well as JavaFX, PHP, JavaScript and Ajax, Ruby and Ruby on Rails,
Groovy and Grails, and C/C++.
</p><p>
The NetBeans project is supported by a vibrant
<a href="../../../../community/index.html">developer community</a> and
offers extensive <a href="../../../../kb/index.html">documentation and training</a>
resources as well as a diverse selection of third-party
<a href="http://plugins.netbeans.org">plugins</a>.
</p>
<h2>Release Overview</h2>
<p>
NetBeans IDE 6.7 is integrated with <a href="http://kenai.com/">Project Kenai</a>,
a collaborative environment for developers to host open-source
projects. With Kenai and the NetBeans IDE, a team of developers is able
to create projects, check out, edit, debug, build, discuss, and commit code, all
through one easy-to-use interface!
</p>
<p>
The release also builds on the success of NetBeans 6.5 with native
support for Maven; GlassFish, issue tracker and Hudson integrations;
and enhancements to Java, PHP, Ruby, Groovy and C/C++. Highlights of the 6.7
release include support for JavaScript 1.7, Ruby Remote Debugging,
and integration of the Java ME SDK 3.0.
