Links to NetBeans IDE 7.0 features, tutorials, and videos are provided in Gopalan Raj's blog on the release. He notes that NetBeans IDE 7.0 introduces language support for coding to the proposed Java SE 7 specification with the JDK 7 developer preview, allowing developers to take advantage of the new language features from Project Coin /JSR 334, with editor support for code completion, hints, and in specific cases, converting existing Java SE 6 based code to use the new Java SE 7 based syntax. Raj explains further that the release also provides enhanced integration with the Oracle WebLogic server as well as support for Oracle Database and GlassFish 3.1. Important new capabilities stemming from the Oracle WebLogic server integration enhancements include fast turnaround when redeploying applications; deploy on save; datasource management; server library configuration; the ability to explore deployed applications and resources, and to view server logs and the admin console from within the IDE, he observes in conclusion.
