NetBeans 6.9 feature highlights include in short: NetBeans Platform OSGi interoperability Many enhancements in Editor Improved Java FX tooling Java EE 6 improvements Better PHP, Ruby & C/C++ support and much more... To help test NetBeans 6.9 development builds, report bugs and RFEs, sign up for NetCAT, our popular beta testing program. As a NetCAT participant, you provide feedback to our development team and therefore influence the stability and performance of the NetBeans IDE. The requirement is simple: if you can spare a minimum of four hours a week for the next three months, then sign up! That's not all. Our NetFIX program is looking for experienced Java developers who enjoy contributing code. Participating in NetFIX is an opportunity to have your name included in the NetBeans source code repository. For former NetCAT participants, NetFIX is also an ideal next step in contributing to the NetBeans project since you learn about NetBeans APIs in the process. So sign up today and join fellow community developers to help grow a more robust NetBeans IDE! At the end of the NetBeans 6.9 cycle, top participants in both programs receive community recognition as well as gifts from the NetBeans team. If you have any questions about either of the two programs, please contact NetBeans Community Manager Jiri Kovalsky. http://www.netbeans.org/community/news/index.html#1463 Netbiscuits is the mobile publishing platform that enables eBay and many other major brands for the mobile Web. As a cloud-based software service it allows you to take advantage of its advanced technology to set up your own mobile Web projects and services. To support mobile web developers using the NetBeans IDE, we created JAM, a plug-in that facilitates coding for Netbiscuits. If you want to learn more about JAM for Netbiscuits please register for our upcoming webinar. Netbiscuits provides a 30 day free trial. After this period you can upgrade to a free of charge Developer Edition that allows you to set up an unlimited number of mobile websites. The Netbiscuits platform enables you to create and deliver web content and services easily and efficiently for any mobile device. It allows you to exploit the rich internet capabilities of high-end mobile phones like the iPhone, Android or BlackBerry devices, and also guarantees optimized delivery to the less expensive but highly popular web-enabled mass market feature phones as well. http://www.netbeans.org/community/news/index.html#1462 Every NetBeans user is an evangelist!
