The Definitive Guide to NetBeans™ Platform 7

Buy
With this work in your hands, you hold the most current and the most comprehensive guide to the Swing-based rich client platform, NetBeans Platform 7. This theme-rich client platform is highly topical. In addition to the NetBeans Platform, Eclipse RCP is also a principal representative of this category. The development of these two platforms was mainly driven by the NetBeans and Eclipse integrated development environments (IDEs). Those two IDEs are based on their respective platforms and represent a rich client application themselves. The NetBeans Platform is completely based on the Java API with AWT and Swing and integrates the concepts of the Java Standard Edition (JSE), while the Eclipse RCP with SWT and JFace builds more and more on its own approaches and concepts.

Rich client platforms are flexible and used mainly for their constantly increasing requirements for applications and their architecture. One crucial aspect is their increased productivity and flexibility to be able to equip a product depending on its intended usage and to adapt it to a market. This is especially important for professional applications.

In my opinion, the NetBeans Platform is always worth using, even if an application is very small or quite huge, because of the comprehensive support actually provided by the NetBeans IDE. It is also already worth it because of the execution environment, and even more so because of the numerous APIs that provide practical solutions for frequently occurring problems and challenges with client application development. These solutions are very close to the practice and the application and increase productivity a lot.

However, this assumption is based on one basic condition: professional knowledge and use of the workings of the rich client platform. The application developer should at least know the main principles; only then can the real advantages of increased productivity and greater software quality be achieved in practice.

Many developers have assumed the platform was too complex, which is one of the main reasons the rich client platforms have not yet been established as quasi-standards for client application development. At first, developers may get the impression that there is a huge wall of APIs and concepts to master. However, once you begin to learn more, you find that there are immense synergies and simplifications possible, which make up for the challenges of the initial learning phase.

The NetBeans IDE simplifies both daily usage and developers’ learning curve by providing comprehensive, helpful, and intuitive wizards. It is surely important that all NetBeans APIs and concepts build on the APIs and concepts of the Java Standard Edition (JSE). That fact simplifies everyday experiences with it and also facilitates the reuse of already existing components.
