I’ve been a long time NetBeans user, contributor, and committer. And I jumped right in when I found out that NetBeans will join Apache.

NetBeans Dream Team member Nebrass Lamouchi wrote a tutorial on how to write a Java EE application using Spring Boot and Docker in NetBeans IDE but now it’s time to dive deeper into the topic and experiment with NetBeans IDE 8.2.

“I am glad to announce the NetBeans Platform is almost entirely Retina Ready.”

The NetBeans Dream Team is an organization of NetBeans enthusiasts from around the world who spread the word about NetBeans, promoting it in one or more ways, via social media channels and conferences.

NetBeans is leaving Oracle behind in the hope that a change of scenery will help boost the number of contributions from various organizations. After talking to a few members of the NetBeans Dream Team about Oracle’s decision to donate NetBeans to the Apache Foundation, it is time to allow Oracle to explain how they reached the conclusion that NetBeans should be donated to the Apache Foundation and what’s next for Apache NetBeans.
