NetBeans™ IDE 6.8 offers best-in-class support for the entire Java™ Platform Enterprise Edition 6 specification and the Sun GlassFish™ Enterprise Server v3 platform. Simplify Java application development with Java EE 6 language features: less XML configuration and more POJO-like development; easily target and deploy to GlassFish v3.
NetBeans IDE continues to be the tool of choice for top development languages, and this release includes new features and improved support for
PHP 5.3 and the
Symfony framework, the latest
JavaFX™ SDK 1.2.1, C/C++, Ruby, Maven and more. Integration with
Project Kenai, a collaborative environment for hosting open-source projects, now offers full support for
JIRA, as well as improved issue tracker integration. As always, the
NetBeans Platform provides a rock-solid application framework that can save years of development time.
Supporting Java EE 6 improvements first, NetBeans IDE 6.8 boosts developer productivity and lets developers take advantage of today's latest languages and platform features.
NetBeans IDE 6.8 is available in English, Brazilian-Portuguese, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
