    Apache Netbeans — Development Environment, Tooling Platform and Application Framework. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
  • Learn to code Java using Netbeans
    The IDE we use on this course is called NetBeans, and we use it with the Test My Code plugin. Source: 11 months ago
  • Having issues starting Java in VS on Mac
    I believe Netbeans is the preferred IDE for the mooc. There is a plugin for IntelliJ, but I've heard mixed reviews. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Some other windows PHP IDEs besides VSCode and PHP Storm
    (free) Apache NetBeans is there from ages, and one person on my team still uses it for PHP/web stuff (including the use of xdebug with it) because you know, it works. Some of us care about *what* gets into the repository, not *how* it gets done, as long you're productive. Source: about 1 year ago
  • HTML / PHP / CSS / JavaScript IDE for MacOS?
    Nobody mentioned (wonder why), but 10 years ago I used work in NetBeans. I thought it was fantastic and I can see it is still being developed. Source: over 1 year ago
  • free-for.dev
    Apache Netbeans — Development Environment, Tooling Platform and Application Framework. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Nemo Linux File Manager UI suggestions.
    Yes, kind of. For me mostly the solid previeuw pannel is important, having more customizablility in where things are would be great to. It would be interesting to see something where you can kind of have settings in a toolbox, all by default have their default behaviour but instances can be altered, and then from there you can kind of drop them on the ui/canvas, quite much like how "Apache netbeans"...

  • How to step debug PHP code with Xdebug and PhpStorm on a DDEV setup
    PhpStorm is also another tool, which has great features for PHP development. I started using it 2 years ago after hearing all the benefits that provided to my coworkers. For more than 13 years, I was be a big fan of Apache Netbeans, which works great with Xdebug too, but some additional steps were needed to have it fully working though, and it used to use too many resources from my computer which became super slow. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Apache NetBeans 15 Released
    The NetBeans page does not even say what it is. https://netbeans.apache.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • What's the best IDE for beginners?
    I started learning Java with NetBeans and I actually still really like it, although I seem to be in the minority. I can definitely understand why people prefer JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. As for VS Code, it can work well with the right plugins but I personally still prefer a full IDE. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Netbeans plugin site not working
    The plugins for Apache NetBeans are stored in https://netbeans.apache.org but it's not a browseable site. It should be used automatically in your NetBeans version. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Free for dev - list of software (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.)

  • C++ Using Eclipse vs Windows Visual Studio
    I'm just throwing this out there but what about NetBeans? Source: about 3 years ago
  • Need help with an MMO project
    ** IDEs | Integrated Development Environments** : As far as these go you have the following options: - VScode : a glorified text editor; weak refactoring; can be done but needs adding/plugins - Microsoft Visual Studio: Very good; not the best for java - Netbeans : free; old, horrid interface - Eclipse : free; highly customisable, slightly outdated, awful interface, uses class paths-> both good and bad based on...
