| Developing a desktop application on top of the NetBeans Platform can save years of developer time. |
| </strong> |
| |
| |
| <h2>A Generic Desktop Application Framework</h2> |
| <p> |
| The NetBeans Platform is a generic base for desktop applications. |
| It provides the services common to almost all large desktop applications: |
| window management, menus, settings and storage, an update manager, and file access. |
| Get a head start by reusing these standard components, |
| allowing you to concentrate fully on your application's business logic. |
| |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The NetBeans Platform provides all of these out of the box. You don't need to |
| manually code these or other basic features, yourself, anymore. See what some |
| NetBeans-based applications look like. The platform does not add a lot of overhead |
| to your application - but it can save a huge amount of time and work. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The NetBeans Platform provides a reliable and flexible application architecture. |
| Your application does not have to look anything like an IDE. It can save you years |
| of development time. The NetBeans Platform gives you a time-tested architecture for |
| free. An architecture that encourages sustainable development practices. Because the |
| NetBeans Platform architecture is modular, it's easy to create applications that are |
| robust and extensible. |
