Netbeans 5.5 + Visual Web Pack is ready to download !


I am not the first one blogging about this today, and won’t be the last one either.

Netbeans 5.5 is ready for download.

We also ship today, the first public preview of Visual Web Pack. To make a long story short, Visual Web Pack is a set of Netbeans plugins that provide Java Studio Creator features right into Netbeans.

One of the main criticisms we had while presenting Netbeans and Creator to customers was the lack of integration between the two tools and the need, for some developers, to install the two on their local machine. Now, with the preview release of Visual Web Pack, one IDE is enough to develop stand alone Java applications, enterprise class applications and web applications.

Netbeans is the only Java IDE to provide, out of the box,

  • a GUI builder,
  • an Ant-based project system
  • a profiler
  • a graphical web application development environment
  • an XML editor
  • a BPEL editor
  • an UML editor
  • a C/C++ development environment
  • and many more !

All of this is free to download. Enjoy !
