Winston is asking for feedback on his proposal for a Generic Web Page Designer for NetBeans. The basic principle is to embed XULRunner (Wikipedia, Home, MozillaWiki, Tutorial, Use in Eclipse) into NetBeans. The notion seems reasonable but this is not my area, so, if you can provide feedback, please check out Winston's post. The actual NetBeans proposal is WebPageDesigner, the proposal for the prerequired embedding is EmbeddebBrowser. |

This interview with Ludo Champenois from the GlassFish team discusses the general developer experience with GlassFish as well as with IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse. We go into the save/reload paradigm for web and Ajax apps (using jMaki for instance), incremental deployment possibilities, value and role of IDEs for Java EE 5, best OS for developers, and more.

Vivek provides a good summary of tooling options in Metro. NetBeans 6 provides support for simple Hello World to adding different Quality of Service along with .NET 3.0 interoperability. Within Eclipse, you can use either of SOAP UI plugin, Ant build script, CLI or Maven-based tools. The last three options are available for use outside the IDE as well. |
Let us know if you are interested in writing a Metro plugin for Eclipse.

NetBeans 6 now has its last Milestone (M10) available. If you haven't already tried NetBeans 6, you'll find a new editor (for Java, XML, JSP, etc...) and a new modularized installer among many other improvements. The archive varies from 23MB to 172MB depending on the features you request. GlassFish version 2 build 53 is integrated in the install process.
GlassFish-related new features in M10 are described in this earlier post. Java EE improvements include:
|
Other new features are listed in the New and Noteworthy document. Overall stability and performance are also improved as with every Milestone. This is the last Milestone with a beta set for August and final bits in November.

SailFin (the Communications/Telco Application Server) was Announced at Java One and we have reported since then on a couple of SIP applications: Click to Dial (full code available) and Conference Manager (soon available). |
You can also read this intro to SIP, use this documentation to use a vanilla SIP proxy and SIPp to generate traffic, and use tooling support in NetBeans (development using Web Applications with the SIP Servlets Framework) as described here.
But maybe most importantly, nightly builds are now available from http://sailfin.dev.java.net/ (about 60mb, GlassFish runtime included). The first milestone is scheduled for August
If you're interested in SailFin source code, look here or here.

NetBeans 5.5.1 was recently released and this is the stable version of NetBeans you'll want to use with GlassFish v2. Version 6.0 is what all the NetBeans excitement was about at JavaOne last month. Milestone 9 has JavaScript support including in other editors (HTML, JSP, ...), a new Web Services designer and enough REST support to walk through the JavaOne demonstration.
New GlassFish-related features in NetBeans 6 (Milestone 10) are detailed by Vince Kraemer :

Look at the Milestone 10 New and Noteworthy document for a (much) longer list of what's coming real soon now.

More news from Ludo, GlassFish's own Mr Tools. Both NetBeans 6.0 and Eclipse 3.3 Europa now have support for GlassFish v2 (and v3). Neither release is final, although Eclipse 3.3 will release at the end of the month, but they are both making very fast progress. Check out Ludo's writeup for details and screenshots of NetBeans 6 and Eclipse 3.3. You can see more TheAquarium spotlights on Tools here, including GlassFish v2 support in MyEclipse 5.5. |
