The NetBeans Platform Ribbon Bar Integration Tutorial has an Installer class that needs to be rewritten if you're using it with NetBeans Platform 8.0 and 8.0.1. In the Flamingo Integration module, delete the content of the Installer class, in the modules.flamingo package, and replace it with the code shown below: https://netbeans.org/projects/platform/lists/dev/archive/2014-10/message/107 The problem with the original Installer class in the repo is that it is a little...

Seeing this Tweet earlier this week, I had to investigate! Matt responded: "I attached the only pic I took during our workshop last night with the students first being introduced to Java and NetBeans by Ross Etchells and Briana Hoffman (in the right of the photo) who are software engineers with a local software development company Innovative Software Engineering (ISE) and Mentors on our FIRST Robotics Competition Team. And you can actually see last year's robot in the far...

Forget all the small command line tools you typically need to access a remote device, such as a Raspberry Pi. NetBeans IDE connects to the Pi for you and lets you run your application. But... you can also debug the application within NetBeans, while the application is running on the Pi. And, even more impressively, you can use the NetBeans Profiler together with your Pi. Below, Mark Heckler shows this feature in action with his PiDrone! &...

Oracle Labs have recently posted a new master thesis description for R support for NetBeans. http://ssw.jku.at/Teaching/MasterTheses/Graal/NetbeansR.pdf If you happen to be or to know a talented student that could do the job, please respond. Either drop a response in the comments to this blog entry, reach me some other way, or contact the initiator of this thesis, Thomas Wuerthinger (thomas dot wuerthinger at oracle dot com) directly. However, note that you really need to be a...

Pretty awesome! The long-awaited third exercise of "Exercises in Porting to the NetBeans Platform" has been published. The authors start off with the Stocks Monitor application found here and then, step by step, with a lot of explanations and code and screenshots, migrate it to a NetBeans Platform application with all the same functionality as the original application.  At the end of the exercise, you have an application that looks like this, which monitors financial data from...

Assuming you're able to run Node and Bower from the command line, follow the steps in this screencast to get started with AngularJS in NetBeans IDE 8.0.1: <span id="XinhaEditingPostion"></span><span id="XinhaEdit...

Alice is a really cool tool to use as a teaching device, comparable to BlueJ and GreenFoot. Here you're shown how to map an Alice project to a NetBeans project, i.e., Java objects are generated from your Alice objects, and the flow of the Alice project is mapped to a Java class, all of which is packed into a Java project in NetBeans IDE. A handy plugin created by the Alice team makes all this possible: <span id=&amp...

I participated as a speaker in two sessions that related to JavaScript at JavaOne this year: Coding for Desktop and Mobile with HTML5 and Java EE 7 [CON3143]. A session with JB Brock, where he created a KnockoutJS front-end on top of a Java EE back-end that I generated from NetBeans IDE 8.0.1. He also deployed the front-end to the Chrome browser on his iPhone, enabling him to debug the running app from NetBeans, after which I showed how to use Cordova, integrated within...
