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.

Oracle and Apple are working on an OpenJDK project for Mac OS X. Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and technology required for a Java SE 7 implementation on Mac OS X, including a 32-bit and 64-bit HotSpot-based Java virtual machine, class libraries, a networking stack and the foundation for a new graphical client. OpenJDK will make Apple’s Java technology available to open source developers so they can access and contribute to the effort.
"We are excited to welcome Apple as a significant contributor in the growing OpenJDK community," said Hasan Rizvi, Oracle’s senior vice president of Development. "The availability of Java on Mac OS X plays a key role in the cross-platform promise of the Java platform. The Java developer community can rest assured that the leading edge Java environment will continue to be available on Mac OS X in the future. Combined with last month’s announcement of IBM joining the OpenJDK, the project now has the backing of three of the biggest names in software."
