NetBeans 6.9.1 adds support for the JavaFX 1.3.1 SDK and delivers a number of debugging-related enhancements.
 

NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 is a minor update. It adds support for the recently released JavaFX 1.3.1 with enhancements to the JavaFX Debugger.

The improved JavaFX debugger offers the following enhancements:

  • Virtual Machine names display as they are typed (in previous version they included ascii characters such as $).
  • Sequences are properly displayed.
  • Debugger variable evaluation must be manually triggered.

Bundled with JavaFX SDK 1.3.1, NetBeans 6.9.1 offers usability enhancements in the JavaFX Composer, a visual layout tool for visually building JavaFX GUI applications, as well as in the JavaFX Editor.

Interested downloaders need to ensure the following:

  • The minimum supported JDK version for JavaFX 1.3.1 is JDK 6 Update 20 for Windows and JDK 5 Update 16 for Mac OS.
  • JDK 6.0 is required to install and run NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 on Mac OS, however JDK 5.0 can be used for development using the JavaFX 1.3.1 SDK.

NetBeans 6.9.1 also integrates the June 2010 and July 2010 patches and offers users performance improvements. There are over 130 bug fixes in this release of the IDE.
