Here's the source code of the plugin for Couchbase in NetBeans: https://github.com/arun-gupta/couchbase-netbeans-plugin And here's the latest webinar in the series with Arun and Eben from Couchbase:

Let's take a look at how to implement an Action that will be visualized as a JMenuItem popup, which should only be displayed if a Couchbase bucket has not yet been indexed, so that it can be invoked to index the Couchbase bucket. Here you can see a non-indexed Couchbase bucket, with the "Set Primary Index" popup available: Here, on the other hand, the JMenuItem popup is not available, since the bucket has already been indexed, hence it doesn't need to be indexed and the Action...

Quite a few people are involved now in different ways in the tooling support for Cassandra in NetBeans IDE. A new release of the NetCassandraBeans plugin is now available, its main feature is that now Cassandra 3, as well as Cassandra 2 which was supported in the first release, is now supported: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/59444 Here's how the Cassandra node now looks (assuming you have Darcula installed), within the Databases node, while all the icons have been updated: Wa...

In part 1, some years ago, the start/stop infrastructure was controlled from toolbar buttons. Let's now change that so that, instead, we use popup menu items to start/stop something, in this case a server: The steps to providing the above start/stop infrastructure is as follows: Create Startable and Stoppable capabilities. Create NodeActions that are sensitive to the above capabilities. Hook the NodeActions into the "getActions" of the Node where they should be invoked. Add a...

NetBeans IDE, how it looks for me is below, with Darcula look and feel, integrated JavaFX browser, Docker, and multiple carets (in the HTML file). The only plugin I've installed is Darcula, from the Plugin Manager under the Tools menu, all the rest is natively in NetBeans IDE. I've also removed the toolbar buttons to maximize screen real estate. I'm using the "HTML5/JavaScript" download bundle of NetBeans IDE, which is small and fast, and includes the JRE. Several of the...

I worked through this Kubernetes document today and it worked well: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/hello-kubernetes/index.html Here below (click to enlarge the image) you see my Node.js project in NetBeans IDE, showing the Docker file and Node.js file, together with Docker visualization in the Services window. From the Docker file, the Docker image can be built, after which it can be run, all from within NetBeans IDE. (Well, you need a development build for...

Just did the 5th part of the Couchbase/NetBeans hacking session with Arun and Eben from Couchbase. We worked on visualizing whether a bucket is indexed or not, as shown below via small icons on the bucket nodes and a corresponding tooltip: Here's how it looks with the Darcula look and feel which continues to be my favorite way to work with NetBeans IDE: Here's the Couchbase announcements re the publication of this part of the series. Features being added are increasingly...

NetBeans Dream Team members were well represented at JavaLand yesterday and today. Thomas Kruse and Kirk Pepperdine are not in the pic below, though they were at the conference, while in the pic you see Michael Mueller, me, Toni Epple, and Ivar Grimstad! It was a great time and Toni suggested maybe next year there should be a NetBeans Community booth at JavaLand (and maybe other conferences too).
