Behind us is the second meeting Silesia JUG , whose theme was the NetBeans Platform. Mark Klis over 1.5 hours presenting capabilities of this platform using a brand new NetBeans 6.5, which (probably due to its novelty), he had sometimes quite long moments hesitation. The audience this time was much smaller than the first meeting, which I think largely due to the focus of the meeting - Eclipse still is doing well and that it uses the vast majority of developers. Himself to admit that NetBeans fired just a few times in my life and this solely by the desire to experiment. At the presentation I went to learn something about the NB platform capabilities and its use to create desktop applications. I must admit that my approach was the beginning of skeptical though of course I was hoping that Mark will show you something revolutionary. As long I create applications based on Eclipse RCP, I wanted to compare the two platforms / frameworks / skeletons ..... etc..
must admit that visually it looks nice, although I personally like the UI more applications built on Eclipse. The basic application (without functionality) can be created by typing zero lines of code;) Next have no knowledge of the API can be hard, but that's understandable.
Marek tried their best to communicate about, and - taking into account the issues of space, and quite a limited time - truly appreciate his efforts:) Not cared But a few moments without going into too much detail, but it's probably the problem most of the speakers. (Hopefully it will be like someday I will stand before the audience;))
NetBeans Platform is an option to consider if one of the requirements is that the application was based on Swing. In this environment, its competitors are probably only SpringRCP and Swing Application Framework, and among them NB option seems most mature and giving the greatest opportunities today. If we are free to Swing/SWT- I definitely will choose the Eclipse RCP, but I'm not objective in this topic:) Unfortunately, too few know about the NB to more accurately compare the two platforms. This is what I have seen during the presentation of a rather slow start your application (Eclipse but sometimes results in bone).
Both platforms have long been developing dynamically. Very well that there is a kind of competition between the two products in both the IDE and platform software development, because we all benefit from such competition, and the most we - the developers to give more and more interesting tools and solutions.
