NetBeans IDE 6.9 is an award-winning integrated development environment available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The NetBeans project consists of a free open-source IDE and an application platform that enable developers to rapidly create web, enterprise, desktop, and mobile applications using the Java platform, as well as JavaFX, PHP, JavaScript and Ajax, Ruby and Ruby on Rails, Groovy and Grails, and C/C++. NetBeans IDE 6.9 introduces the JavaFX Composer, support for JavaFX SDK 1.3, OSGi interoperability, support for the PHP Zend framework and Ruby on Rails 3.0, and more. Like most modern IDE's it extends its capabilities by using the plugin paradigm and because of its long period of development and large number of users who contributed to its development, there are hundreds of plugins available. The majority of the NetBeans IDE code is available under a dual license consisting of the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) v1.0 and the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2. No license fee is required to use NetBeans and any commercial application you write does not have to be distributed with the source. Sun no longer exists, having been purchased by Oracle, which now controls Java.
Java fue la herramienta de lenguaje original “una vez escrito, ejecutable en cualquier sitio”. Sin embargo, a pesar de su “modelo de seguridad superior” se ha convertido en objetivo favorito para malware y muchos expertos en seguridad recomiendan desinstalar Java. Estas preocupaciones por la seguridad y la demanda ha eliminado el brillo del desarrollo Java para muchos programadores y compañías.
