I had been using NetBeans for more then 1 year.Formerly, I had used the Eclipse IDE for development. But, since I had a try for NetBeans, I surprised, I feel the NetBeans IDE is more for humanbings! This year is NetBeans 10th birthday, let's celebrate it!
Using NetBeans IDE
I use NetBeans IDE under Ubuntu Linux for JavaSE/JavaEE developing.Because NetBeans UI is based on Java standard--SWing, so I can customize NetBeans IDE's UI with Look&Feel. The most favoritest theme I like is Metal! Just modify the netbeans.conf file, add the configuration: -laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
My projects developed with the NetBeans IDE
I developed some projects with the NetBeans IDE:
A NetBeans IDE plugin: Gmail Notifier
A Maven2 plugin: Project Source Statistic (In Progress)
A Project Management & Team Collaboration Tool: BeyondTrack (In Progress)
