NetBeans 5.0 Beta is available

NetBeans 5.0 beta is now available and can be downloaded here. I've been using NetBeans 4.1 for almost a year now and in the process of installing beta version. Here are the key advertised features:

• Improved GUI builder (Matisse). Check out this cool demo of GUI building capabilities.
• JBoss 4 and WebLogic 9 are now supported in addition to Sun Java System Application Server 8.1
• Improved code completion support (automatic generation of getter/setter is my favorite) and refactoring
• Editor enhancements (automatic indentation and code folding in XML editor are my main items)
• Debugging: Ant debugger has been included that steps through the target calls 

The installation went without any hiccups so I hope to report on my NetBeans 5.0 experience in the days to come.
