JBoss NetBeans IDE

Quick Start

The JBoss Application Server and NetBeans IDE have been bundled together to provide NetBeans IDE users with a well integrated out of the box experience to build Java EE applications on the JBoss Application Server.

NetBeans IDE

Robust, free, open source Java IDE
Build cross-platform desktop, web, enterprise, and mobile applications
Intuitive GUI Builder (formerly known as Project Matisse)
Comprehensive support for developing plug-in modules

JBoss Application Server

Most widely used open source Java application server on the market
J2EE 1.4 certified platform for developing and deploying mission critical enterprise applications
Includes support for EJB3.0 specification

The first release of this bundle packages the NetBeans IDE 5.5 IDE and the JBoss 4.0.4 application server with the JBoss EJB3 Technical Preview implementation. JBoss's EJB3 implementation supports the Java Persistence API(JPA) and EJB3 specifications.

Future releases of this bundle will round out the features of the application server as JBoss moves closer to the JBoss Application Server 5 release, which will be fully Java EE 5 compatible.
