Welcome to the NetBeans community. We develop the NetBeans IDE, a full-featured environment of tools for software developers, and also the NetBeans Platform, our widely adopted framework for professional desktop applications.

NetBeans IDE connects developers. The NetBeans IDE 6.7 introduces integration with Project Kenai, a collaborative environment for developers to host open-source projects. The release also builds on the success of the NetBeans IDE 6.5 with native support for Maven, integration of GlassFish, the Java ME SDK 3.0, and Hudson, and enhancements to Java, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, Groovy and C/C++ support.

The only IDE you need. NetBeans runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris, it is open source and free. Learn more...

 
Features
Starting from Monday, November 2nd to Monday, November 9th, the NetBeans Team will be migrating NetBeans.org to a new infrastructure. The move is intended to improve the site's performance and services. For example, after the update NetBeans.org users will be able to access the site's services (Wiki, Issuezilla, Source Code Management, Mailing Lists, etc.) with a single sign-on.

The migration will begin at 17:00 CET, November 2nd, and will be completed at 00:01 CET, November 9th.

Given the scope of the migration, some services on NetBeans.org will be affected during the event. Read More.
