I used to use the NBAndroid plug-in but that has gone away. I don't use any other plug-ins. > 2. > Are there any upcoming cool features? Haven't a clue. > 3. > What could be improved? Handling of JavaFX application development and distribution. It would also be nice to use Netbeans for Android development (I am not finding androidstudio all that great, e.g. just tried an automatic update and it barfed). > 4. > Why should the whole world use this IDE?

Java Workshop because it was the only Java IDE available at the time. Turned out it had an horrendous architectural flaw and 2/3 of the way through a large project we hit a brick wall! Frantically hunting for an alternative we discovered this little Czech company called Netbeans! Not only did their IDE not have the fatal flaw found in Java Workshop but it was written in Java - we were moving our dev machines off Windows NT and onto Linux so the fact Netbeans would run on any OS was a huge plus. Bought copies of Netbeans for all our developers and the rest, as they say, is history. > > > > > > Hope you can help me. Thanks! > > > > > > Regards, > > Ko Turk > > >
