Use the Mobility Pack
to write, test, and debug applications for Java™ Micro Edition platform
(Java™ ME platform) technology-enabled mobile devices.
Use the Visual Web Pack to rapidly and visually build standards-based
web applications, including support for AJAX and JSF components.
NetBeans Enterprise Pack
provides support for creating Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications. Note: If you want to use SOA
and BPEL functionality in Enterprise Pack, please use NetBeans IDE 5.5 with NetBeans Enterprise
Pack 5.5. We do not expect to publish any further updates to NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.x. All our development efforts are now focused on NetBeans 6.0 with SOA.
The NetBeans Profiler
helps you optimize your application's memory and CPU usage.
The C/C++ Pack supports C/C++ projects. The language-aware editor indents, completes, and syntax-highlights your C/C++ code.
NetBeans 5.5.1 has been localized into simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese -
if you are using one of those locales you will automatically be offered the localized version,
otherwise choose Other Systems & Languages to find them.
