Poll Result: Native Maven Support Is the Most Significant New Feature in NetBeans 6.7Posted by editor on July 17, 2009 at 6:59 AM PDT
The voting in this past week's java.net poll indicates that the NetBeans user community (our sampling of it, anyway) considers native Maven support to be the the most significant new feature in the new NetBeans Version 6.7 release. A total of 257 votes were cast. Here's the actually poll question and the responses:
So, of the 65% of votes that expressed an opinion on what the most significant new feature in NetBeans 6.7 is, 79 out of the 167 votes (47.3%) were cast for native Maven support. Looking at just the 167 votes that expressed a view about what new feature is most significant in NetBeans 6.7, the percentages are:
There were seven comments posted. In a midst of a somewhat heated discussion of the NetBeans stability, and the risks and benefits of upgrading an IDE version in the middle of a project, One of the other features NB 6.7 has is that it more or less automatically disables what you are not using... That alone was why I upgraded: the startup time was cut in half for me. It also seems to be more clever in the initial scanning of the projects, which in NB 6.5 essentially froze my IDE for a few minutes before I could actually do anything relevant...
Meanwhile,
And JavaFX support would be nice. The fact that it is missing is a significant "feature". New poll: use of open source software tools This week's new java.net poll asks "Do you use open source software (OSS) tools in your daily work?" In Java Today, we're featuring Juggy and the Java Tools Team. In this java.net Community Corner podcast recorded at JavaOne 2009, Java Tools Community Leaders Toni Epple and Fabian Nardon speak with Juggy (Bruno Souza) in a wide ranging "conversation" (if you can call it that - Juggy tends to take over, wherever he is). Jim Driscoll announces JSF 2 Beta 2 released: "The Mojarra team are proud to announce the release of our Beta 2 version of Mojarra 2.0, implementing the PFD version of the JavaServer Faces 2.0 spec. You can find it on our downloads page, as well as in the GlassFish Update Center. And as always, be sure to check the release notes for more information..." And Terrence Barr announces LWUIT keeps crankin': Version 1.2 released: "The LWUIT project (Lightweight UI Toolkit) just keeps crankin' ... Among many other recent developments the LWUIT team yesterday released version 1.2. The list of improvements is too long to list here - check out the LWUIT blog..." In today's Weblogs, Arun Gupta posted Are you using GlassFish ? - Let us know!: "Are you using GlassFish for development, deployment/production, testing, teaching or in other interesting ways ? Help us fill out this short survey so we understand you better. The survey will not take more than 5-10 minutes of your time. blogs.sun.com/stories has a partial..." Kohsuke Kawaguchi announces Distributed Groovy computation across a Hudson cluster: "I released the Hudson distributed fork plugin today, which lets you use Groovy for coordinating computation across multiple JVMs in a cluster, all connected to your shell on your laptop." And Amy Fowler talks about a Good Book, Great Authors: "Taking a moment to recommend a great JavaFX reference: Even before I started working on the JavaFX project, there were a handful of very brave outside individuals who have dedicated tremendous energy to tracking our bleeding edge. I've had the pleasure of working with two of them in particular, Stephen Chin and Jim Weaver..."
In the Forums,
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 "Do you use open source software (OSS) tools in your daily work?". Next Thursday is the last full day of voting. Our Feature Articles include a new article by Jeff Friesen, Introducting Custom Cursors to JavaFX. In this article, Jeff shows developers how to leverage undocumented JavaFX capabilities to support custom cursors in versions 1.2 and 1.1.1. Meanwhile, Francesco Azzola's Integrating JavaFX with JavaEE Using Spring and Hessian Protocol shows how a JavaFX client can call remote JavaEE services using the Spring framework and the Hessian protocol.
