Recently I was looking through the admin tools for my website and blog, http://www.pronetbeans.com. One area I occasionally glance at, but usually ignore, is the search terms section. When users enter the site from a Google or Yahoo or Dogpile or **insert your engine here** search, the search terms typically get logged.
I was curious what the buzz around NetBeans this year since I’m currently at JavaOne so I thought I’d lookup and mention some of the most searched for (or interesting) terms that people have searched for and hit my site with between January 01, 2009 and today, June 4, 2009.

Sitting in a technical session here at JavaOne, titled ‘Continuous Integration in the Cloud’ with Kohsuke Kawaguchi and Jesse Glick.
The session focused on a using Hudson overview, using HUdson in a distributed master/salve manner, and some of the newer use cases (such as with clouds and Kenai).
One of the cool items discussed was the Hudson Amazon EC2 plugin which allows you to automatically provision slaves on EC2 on demand. I haven’t heard it mentioned (yet), but I would imagine in the near future you will be able to do the same in Sun Cloud.
I didn’t hear much about Hudson and NetBeans or Hudson and Kenai. Maybe more later at their BOF.
In NetBeans 6.8, it looks like there are tentative plans to implement an embedded web browser or web preview directly inside NetBeans.
The concept is to minimize the amount of time the user spends switching between the IDE and external web browser. Hopefully, it will work more like a WYSIWYG preview feature (think Dreamweaver style) and not a thick or heavy web browser. I know I’ve hoped for years to have a web preview option directly in NB. Hopefully this addresses some of that need.

I always browse the “recent changes” section of the NetBeans wiki. This lets me see what’s been going on in the last few days or weeks if I haven’t stayed up to date. Recently I saw this page, Java EE6 Integration, appear in the Wiki as recently modified. Looks like the next version of NetBeans will start to provide Java EE 6 support. Maybe this has been blogged to death already, but it’s the first I’ve seen of it. (maybe I’ve been under a rock). Very cool. I’m especially looking forward to Servlet 3.0 support.
I recently started testing some of the latest daily builds, especially since NetBeans 6.7 Milestone 2 release is so close (should be next week). One of the new features available is the ability to configure some debugger settings in the Options window. Users can now configure formatting for variables that appear in the Local Variables and Watches window. They can also specify a series of filters used when stepping through code being debugged…

A link to a great post just came through the NetBeans Dream Team email list… a blog post by a NetBeans user, Travis Walters, regarding his experiences between NetBeans and Eclipse over the last year.
Kudos Travis.
