The Most Interesting NetBeans Release is Out: 7.3 [30818]
Blog by Juergen Kress
Juergen Kress writes, "NetBeans 7.3 - probably the most interesting release ever is out. I use 7.3 dev builds since JavaOne 2012 and completely switched all of my HTML development to NetBeans (from Koda 2, Espresso, BBEdit, TextMate etc.). NetBeans 7.3 comes with great support for CSS 3, HTML 5, JavaScript, Chrome Plugin combined with GIT, SVN and Mercurial as well as integrated issue trackers. The CSS, HTML formatting and code completions alone were worth for me to drop commercial tools in favor of NetBeans.
Java EE, Java FX and Java SE are also well supported but this is nothing new :-).
If you are new to NetBeans, do not be disappointed. After a single double-click you will have to start to work immediately. You would not get any extra days to download the plugins and make your IDE work :-) ..."

NetBeans Is a Vital Tool in Development of NASA's Deep Space Flight Dynamics Support System [30531]
Geertjan Wielenga on the Role of NetBeans
The Deep Space Flight Dynamics Support System (DSFDSS) is a proposed prototype for auxiliary ground system support on NASA's Lagrange point missions. Geertjan Wielenga blogs on the development of DSFDSS, which relies heavily on NetBeans. The role of NetBeans in all of this, he continues, is that it allowed for a rapid prototype to be bootstrapped on an otherwise thin mission budget. The wizard framework makes daily operational procedures simple and greatly reduces risk of failure. The docking system makes drag and drop actions simple, allowing for highly interactive analyst workflow. The simplicity of JavaFX interop facilitated adding non-traditional web-based visualizations seamlessly.

Changes in Hierarchy Window of NetBeans IDE 7.3 [29385]
Geertjan Wielenga Assesses Improvements
The improved hierarchy window in NetBeans IDE 7.3 is a welcome change, Geertjan Wielenga posts. The supertype and subtype information, shown in previous releases only in modal dialogs, is now shown in the window. Several small helpful related changes, he continues, include integration with the Javadoc window, which updates itself based on what is selected in the Navigator, Hierarchy window, or editor. A screen shot of the window that he provides makes Wielenga's point that the cleaner user interface, with all related information immediately and contextually available in the IDE's supporting windows, is a big improvement.
