For a rundown on what's new in NetBeans 7.1 see Arun Gupta's post on the availability of the download for NetBeans 7.1 RC1. Among the new features or improvements Gupta notes are Support for JavaFX2; enhanced Java editor; enhancements to support for Java EE; and changes involving CSS3, GUI Builder, Git, Maven3, etc. Gupta cites as his favorite the ability to create a Java EE 6 application, deploy on GlassFish, and then re-deploy the same application by changing the target to Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (internal build), which enables users to see the same application deployed to both servers.
