In this presentation, Roman talks about all new features in NetBeans 5.5 such as improved Java EE support, Profiler and Subversion. Get a 25 min overview of all add-on packs, and lots of short demos including JAX-WS Webservices, Mobility Pack, SOA, Persistence API, and Virtual Web development. View the presentation on JavaLobby.

After the successful redesign of CVS support in NetBeans IDE 5.0, the NetBeans VCS team is now working full speed on Subversion, aiming for a similar style of IDE integration, workflow, and UI interface. Roman Strobl gave it a try recently, and he recorded a flash demo along the way where he shows the use of Refactoring to rename a version controlled file followed by an example of how you work with branches. Feel free to provide feedback to the team.

Roman demos the new Mobility pack 5.5 for CDC. CDC technology allows you to create Java applications using the Advanced Graphics and User Interface (AGUI) standard that will run on PDAs, set-top boxes, cutting edge mobile phone and other mobile devices. Forms created using the NetBeans GUI Builder will work on devices that support either AWT or Swing.

Este tutorial apresenta, de forma didática, a utilização da API de persistência do Java EE, também mostra a instalação de novos componentes no Netbeans 5.5.1, neste exemplo é instalado o Apache Derby. Ao fim do tutorial com aproximadamente 17 minutos temos uma aplicação rápida e simples para uma lista de tarefas.

This Brazilian Portuguese tutorial teaches how to use the Java EE Persistence API and demonstrates how to install new components for NetBeans 5.5.1, using Apache Derby as an example. By the end of the tutorial, the user will be able to easily create a simple price list application.

Developing a Web 2.0 application is really simple with Phobos and jMaki. Phobos is a light-weight scripting-friendly web application environment that runs on Java platform. jMaki is an Ajax framework and also provides a unified data model by wrapping components from existing toolkits such as Yahoo and Dojo. Currently the primary language supported by Phobos is JavaScript, and jMaki has support for Java, Phobos, PHP, and Ruby.

Using the same language, JavaScript, on both client and server, eliminates the impedance mismatch between the data format. Both of these technologies can be installed as plug-in modules in NetBeans IDE. This demo (JavaOne Demo TS-6381) shows how easy it is to build a "Developer Dashboard" that allows you to monitor different activities of your project. The key points are:

1. jMaki and Phobos are made for each other; they allow to use same skill set (JavaScript) on both client and server.
2. NetBeans IDE 5.5.1 provides a rapid development, run and test cycle, increasing your development time. There is no deployment or compilation required.
3. All these apps can be deployed on GlassFish V2 or V3, an open-source, production quality, and Java EE 5 compatible application server.

In his Blog, Edgar Silva shares with you his tips how to develop an Application using NetBeans 5.5, JSF, EJB and JPA. You will find video tutorials (ScreenCasts) covering the following topics: Configuring GlassFish in NetBeans 5.5; Creating the Enterprise Project (EJB Tier and WebTier); Creating the Entity Class; Creating the Session Façade for Entity Class; Testing our First Deployment on Sun Java Systema Application Server 9; Creating Java Server Pages for Listing; and Creating the BackingBean to invoke SLSB Façade and listing Data on JSP Page. Thanks to Edgar for creating and publishing these tutorials!

In his demo, Edgar Silva shows how easy it is to create a simple web application with Java EE 5 and NetBeans IDE 5.5. Discover how you can take advantage of new code generation wizards and other features which simplify the creation of Java Enterprise applications that cover all basic database functions, Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD). You can also watch Creating a CRUD application with Java EE 5 and NetBeans 5.5, another demo about the same topic contributed by Roman Strobl.

Roman prepared this video tutorial where he usses JAX-WS 2.0 web services together with Visual Web Pack. Learn how to build web applications with a web service backing using newest EE standards. The length of the demo is 5 minutes.

Interested in learning how to simplify data access when building web applications? Are you tired of the complexity associated with data access? Join us for an hour-long webinar on Simplifying Data Access using Netbeans Visual Web Pack and learn to:

• Rapidly build visual applications that read, display, and update databases
• Browse and edit database schemas, data, and commands
• Access databases using a variety of JDBC drivers
• Import Java Studio Creator 2 database applications into Visual Web Pack

Speakers: Jim Davidson, Senior Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems and John Baker, Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems

Discover what features from Java Studio Creator are being added to NetBeans 5.5, enabling you to do visual web development along with everything else that NetBeans 5.5 supports, all in one tool.

• Importing and using an Ajax based JSF component library

Speaker: Craig McClanahan, Architect, Sun Java Studio Creator, Sun Microsystems

Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT, aka Project Tango) enables first-class interoperability between Sun's Web services stack and Microsoft .NET 3.0 framework. This demo (JavaOne Demo TS-4865) shows how an Excel spreadsheet on Windows Vista can invoke a secure and reliable WSIT endpoint hosted on GlassFish V2.

1. Proven real-world interoperability with .NET 3.0. It's not just confined to "Hello World" or some arcane test case.
2. Technologies transparent to applications
   1. No new APIs (use existing JAX-WS or EJBs)
   2. Excellent support in NetBeans IDE 5.5.1
3. Integrated with GlassFish V2, an open source, production-quality and Java EE 5 compatible application server.

Author: Arun Gupta.

Along with NetBeans 5.5.1 IDE Beta, WSIT plug-in modules were released. In his video tutorial, Arun Gupta shows you how to install the WSIT plug-in on NetBeans IDE 5.5.1 from the Update Center.

In the third part of the screen cast series, Arun Gupta shows how a reliable and interoperable Web service can be developed and invoked using NetBeans IDE and the new WSIT plug-in and GlassFish. This video tutorial also shows how the WSIT plugin can be manually installed in NetBeans.

Arun Gupta shows the various ways by which NetBeans IDE can invoke a Web service endpoint. The first part of the series (Web services development using NetBeans IDE and GlassFish) showed the default way to invoke the endpoint, and this video tutorial shows two additional ways.

This is the first of Arun Gupta's series of video tutorials that will show how NetBeans IDE provides first-class interoperable Web services development experience using WSIT in GlassFish v2. The first episode shows how a simple Web service is developed, deployed and invoked using JAX-WS in GlassFish.

In this extensive presentation, Roman Strobl shows how developers can create applications based on NetBeans platform with a Java EE 5 back-end. The demo guides you through the whole process of developing the application. Firstly, the data is transformed into objects using the new Persistence API. These objects are then exposed to the outer world as a Web Service based on the new JAX-WS 2.0 standard. The demo shows how to consume the Web Service from a Swing application which is almost instantly built using Matisse GUI builder. As the next step, the application is converted into a NetBeans plug-in. At the end the whole application is assembled on top of NetBeans platform and developers can see how back-end data is displayed both synchronously on application start and asynchronously per user's request.

You can write various extensions to OpenOffice using Java, and NetBeans IDE makes extending OpenOffice very easy. You can both add functionality to OpenOffice and create new applications which reuse OpenOffice APIs. In this 4-minute demo you discover how to create a new function for the Calc spreadsheet software using NetBeans IDE. Want to learn more? Read this in-depth introduction to the OpenOffice API, and this technical article about the OpenOffice plugin in the NetBeans Magazine by Kay Koll.
