Poll Result: NetBeans Version 6.7 Attains Quick AcceptancePosted by editor on July 13, 2009 at 8:36 AM PDT
The results of last week's poll suggest that NetBeans Version 6.7 is receiving quick acceptance within the NetBeans user community. There were 630 votes cast in the poll. Here's the exact poll question, and the results:
There was one comment, posted by My holdup for the moment is the JavaFX 1.2 plugin. Until that's available, I'll probably wait. I'm still using 6.5.1 though! Overall, the poll suggests that NetBeans users are very happy with the new release, and consider it to have delivered important new features that are needed now. About 70% of NetBeans users who voted in the poll have already downloaded and tried out NetBeans 6.7, with a strong majority of other users saying they plan to download the new version soon. [Note: as always, remember that java.net polls are not scientific.] New poll: most significant NetBeans 6.7 new feature? Given that a lot of people are already working with NetBeans Version 6.7, it seems worthwhile to see if we can find out what specifically is attracting people to the new release. So, this week's new poll asks: What's the most significant new feature in NetBeans 6.7? Voting will run through the end of the week. In Java Today, Amy Fowler has published the first article in a new series, JavaFX1.2: Understanding Bounds: "This is the first in a series of articles to cover layout for JavaFX 1.2. We changed the api a bit (for the better of course), but that hasn't made it any easier to explain. However, if you're an impatient reader and want to cut to the chase, I recommend jumping to the tailing section Bounds in Practice..." The Java Tools Community has released JavaTools Community Newsletter - Issue 199: "A new edition of the newsletter is available, with news, new projects and tips! If you want to receive the newsletter by email, please subscribe the announcements mailing list - or read the current issue here." Danny Coward reviews the ongoing Scala discussions in Scala Lifting Off ?: "If you are think about adding a new language to your programming language history, then you are probably following the recent discussions about whether Scala will replace the Java language, summarized here at InfoQ and with a followup from James 'Groovy' Strachan here. Scala is an object oriented and functional language, like many other JVM languages. Yet unlike many of today's JVM langauges is statically typed. It's been implemented on other platforms (.NET, Android) but still primarily appears to be used on the Java SE 6 VMs..." In today's Weblogs, Tim Boudreau writes about Wicket + JavaFX?: "I've been trying some experiments with embedding JavaFX applets into Wicket components. The results look promising... Basically, for testing purposes, I've got a JavaFX applet that shows text entry fields - basically a simple format where you see..." Jean-Francois Arcand writes about Writing Comet based application using Scala and the Atmosphere Framework: "Writing Atmosphere's Comet based applications is simple. Imagine using Scala instead of Java...then it becomes really simple!" And Kumar Jayanti writes about JSR 196 in Metro WebServices Stack: "JSR 196 in Metro WebServices Stack: Metro Security has a pluggable architecture and it makes use of JSR 196 (SOAP Profile) to achieve this pluggability. The use of JSR-196 provides a standard way to integrate Metro with the Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure of the underlying container. Though not all containers on which metro can run today support JSR 196..."

And The current Spotlight is "Podcast: Global Software Engineering Class Teaches FOSS Development Techniques": "Educator Dragutin Petkovic talks with java.net's Gary Thompson in this java.net Community Corner 2009 podcast recorded at JavaOne, presenting a synopsis of a Global Software Engineering class. The class is designed based on Dragutin's years of experience of teaching jointly at San Francisco State University (SFSU), the University of Applied Sciences, Fulda University, Germany, and recently with Florida Atlantic University (FAU). The class uses numerous Free and Open Source Software tools and teaches FOSS development techniques." The new java.net Poll asks "What's the most significant new feature in NetBeans 6.7?". The poll will run through Thursday. Our Feature Articles include two new articles today.
