Netbeans 6.0 Preview M9

The Netbeans IDE 6.0 is in it's preview state, and the team today announced their milestone 9 release.

Remember, Netbeans 6.0 is the Open Source Java IDE that Sun supports, with scripting support (hence Ruby/JRuby and Rails including graphical wizards!!).

Furthermore it has a better and smarter editor, a GUI Builder (Swing) with data binding (!!), Profiler, Web & Java EE, Mobility (MIDP/CLDC etc.), UML, SOA (Composite Application Builder) and embedded Glassfish V2 beta server (a.k.a. Sun Java System Application Server 9.1beta). That is, if you get the largest download at 116 MB.

The smallest download is at only 21 MB, but is "just" the Java SE IDE.

Hey, don't forget, that Sun already has JavaFX plugins ready for Netbeans, available from the integrated Netbeans Update Center. Further information can be found on the OpenJFX site and here:
