Pro Netbeans IDE 6 Rich Client Platform Edition

Description

Pro NetBeans IDE 6 Rich Client Platform Edition focuses on enabling the reader to rapidly develop Java-based Rich Client Platforms (RCP) or graphical user interface (GUI) front-ends for standalone or Web applications using API buttons, functions, and features available in the open source agile NetBeans IDE (Integrated Development Environment) platform. NetBeans IDE 6 is mostly based on Java SE 6, Sun’s Java client platform (This is entirely different from the NetBeans IDE 5.5 Enterprise Edition plug-ins or add-on packs that are mostly based on Java EE 5, Sun’s Java enterprise edition. Just as Java SE 6 is different from Java EE 5, so is NetBeans 6 different from NetBeans 5.5. NetBeans 6 is not a direct upgrade from NetBeans 5.5). Moreover, Pro NetBeans IDE 6 Rich Client Platform Edition discusses the plug-in options available for RCP development, including JSF (JavaServer Faces) as well as the new Struts Action Framework 2.0 and JRuby for bringing Ruby on Rails feature set to Java via NetBeans development.
