Take a detailed look at the NetBeans IDE and new features in the
NetBeans Platform. Learn about support for JShell, the Jigsaw Module
System, and Local Variable Type Inference, focusing on what this new
version of NetBeans brings to developers who are working in Java and
other supported languages. The book is a practical, hands-on guide
providing a number of step-by-step recipes that help you take advantage
of the power in the latest Java (and other) software platforms, and
gives a good grounding on using NetBeans IDE for your projects. This
book has been written by Apache community members who both use the IDE
and actively contribute and develop Apache NetBeans as an open source
project.
Pro Apache NetBeans consists of three parts. The first part
describes how to use the IDE as well as the new features that it brings
to support the latest Java versions. The second part describes how you

applications using the Rich Client Platform. The third part describes
how you can contribute to develop NetBeans IDE further, becoming part of
the open source team that is driving future developments in the toolset.
