Press Release

NetBeans Software Release 3.4 Available

NetBeans 3.4 offers improved performance and new features to help YOU be more productive.

Features

• Pop-up Javadoc documentation - NetBeans' already excellent code completion now displays documentation for classes as you navigate them, resulting in fewer missteps during development.
• Live parsing and error marking - syntactical and semantic errors are highlighted as you type. Where before you might need to recompile to find simple typos and minor errors, you now get instant feedback.
• Completely redesigned debugger user interface.
• New editor toolbar for fast navigation to class members and easy access to powerful editor features.
• Drag and drop support - drag tabs between windows to customize your desktop (JDK 1.4.1 only on Windows); drag tree nodes such as methods and fields between classes and more.
• Windowing system improvements to use screen space more efficiently.
• Close buttons on tabs in the editor and elsewhere.

You also get all of the features you've already come to expect in NetBeans, such as CVS support, code completion, JSP & Servlet, CORBA, RMI, JDBC support, and support for multiple JDKs.
