NetBeans is three things: an award-winning Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a platform for building rich-client applications, and an open-source community. This presentation provides an update on some interesting changes in all three of those areas over the last couple of years. The focus will be on demonstrations of the NetBeans IDE in order to show some of its features for doing Java SE, EE, and ME software development. Time permitting, the IDE's support for other languages such as C/C++ and for building Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications will be included. A demonstration of the IDE's tools for building applications on top of the NetBeans Platform will also be shown.

The presentation is here. Also see Gregg's blog.
