and?
Maybe, if you add some nice NEW or CHANGED features this post has more
value?
It isn't that hard to look for yourself. Here's one I didn't know:
"Since Oracle has discontinued further development of JavaFX Script,
JavaFX support has been temporarily removed from NetBeans 7.0. Work on
JavaFX 2.0 with Java APIs has been announced, and NetBeans IDE will be a
primary tool for the new technology. "
Ouch, JavaFX support removed? Oracle isn't supporting it much either.
I guess it wasn't the blockbuster Sun was hoping for.
