After I had some discussions with some friends about their works as developers. They mentioned that they were using NetBeans as IDE. Curious about it. I downloaded it. I tried some JSF example after trying to create a Rails project failed because the grails website was not available.
My first impressions are not bad. It seems to be a quite nice and quick interface. But I am a little bit lost.
So what should I do and look at to study this new (to me) IDE.
The following points seem important to me:
- editor issues, error, warnings as well as suggestions
- Maven integration
- SCM integration, i.e svn, git
- debugger integration
- servers creation and use
These are the points that seem important to me.
But I have the feeling that the list is not yet complete enough... Not even in the pareto sense.
