You know: the version from the time before Apache took control over the project.
If you want to develop for Java EE within NetBeans 10 you’ll be suggested to install plugins made for NetBeans 8.2.
Today you can still experience this feature, my favourite modelling tool ( Visual Paradigm) also supports this.īut these days? It has been around 1.5 years since NetBeans officially supported Java EE (Java Enterprise). What made this so awesome was that you’d get tons of guidelines which clearly showed you the spacing between all components.Īnd it didn’t take long before the library, as developed within NetBeans, eventually got included with the official Java runtime. The NetBeans as I remember used to set the standard for the actual Java runtime itself! I’m serious: when version 6 hit they introduced the Swing visual designer which allowed you to design a GUI by dragging and dropping components onto a palette. So why does it take around 2 minutes before NetBeans 10 finally starts and opens the IDE? That is totally unacceptable to me, especially considering the hardware I’m using. So it has every potential for fast computing.
Although I normally make sure to keep a backup of every installer I download (and actually install) this backup wasn’t of much use to me considering that my previous computer was a 32bit Windows 7 machine.Īnd speaking of my new PC: I decided to go high end, the computer runs on an Intel i7 processor, has a whooping 16Gb of memory, a nice NVidia GTX 1060 card with 6Gb of memory and my Windows 10 64bit environment is installed onto a 256Gb SSD drive.
When I got my new PC I started to collect the installers for all the software I was used to. Am I slowly turning into a Microsoftie? ? I quickly took a liking to the NetBeans IDE and have been using it ever since I got hold of version 4.1, now more than 12 years ago.Īnd the most ironic part? I’m now using software which was designed and developed by none other than Microsoft, the competitor for Java if there ever was one.
The tool is available on Windows, MacOSX and Linux. The tool is both standalone and comes as a plugin to Netbeans and IntelliJ. Visual Paradigm is one of the leading tools for any kind of of modeling in ICT (UML models, BPR-models, ER-models for databases etc.
