Hi,
I created a Scada system based on the ANB Platform. It is currently used at the Nuclear Power Plant, Aquaparks, Shopping Centres and in heat production.

I have two versions, one developer version in which all Netbeans features are included. And a user one that allows control of the technology.
 The compiled NB modules can be sent  and on the fly activated on clients.
Jetty and Vaadin are used as server. It is responsible for data collection, archiving and distribution to clients. It also distributes the compiled NB modules. Netty is used for transfer.

Maven and Apache NB 13 are used for the project itself. Currently I need Java 8, because of some libraries. I have compiled my own Maven repository for ANB. The public ANB repository is missing some dependencies. Unfortunately there is not much documentation for ANB, so to make such a complex application cost a lot of ANB source code analysis.

Here is a preview:

*Subject:* Does anyone still make NetBeans Platform Applications in 2024/2025?

Hi All,

It’s been a while since I was on this mailing list so I am curious if NetBeans 
Platform Applications are still being developed in 2024/2025?

I know everything today is ‘web’ centric and mobile apps, etc. for most casual 
users and possibly corporate as well.

I know my company I work at we still have a hand made Swing Based IDE-looking 
application that is 10+ years old and we still maintain it.

It was before my time and for whatever reason they choose NOT to use NB 
Application Platform and hand coded the UI framework with another open source 
Windowing Framework, hand manage menu items, global selections, custom plugin 
manager, etc. essentially EVERYTHING NB gives you.

I tried to convince them we should port our code as best we can to NB Platform 
but I got the usual “It’s too brittle and complex to change now”..that was 
almost 8 years ago :)

Anyway, I’m just wondering:

1. Do you create NB Platform applications for your projects, company, etc?

2. Do you use Ant or Maven based development?

3. If Maven, how do you find all the required dependencies you need for things 
like Project Api, IDE stuff, etc. Ant version of NB dev has the nice table you 
can just check libraries and it figures things out for you and pulls the 
correct dependencies. Maven doesn’t have that in the UI for NB dev (at least 
not that I’ve seen). I’ve had to do A LOT of trial and error hunting down 
libraries and looking at old/outdated tutorials or piece together blog posts 
across the years.

I would like to re-push my company to consider porting to NB because we are now 
tripping over our own legacy code base trying to add new features or even 
maintain some of the sections.
Most of our stuff can be made easy by being developed as Plugins as long as our 
core IDE was sound.

But I also want to make the development experience for the other non-netbeans 
savvy developers easy since we use Maven and everyone uses Intellij and one 
person eclipse.


Thanks!
