Now as I’ve grown into a full-time blogger, I don’t actually have time for coding but to all those who don’t think coding as a boring job might be happy with the news that NetBeans IDE 6.5 is now available for download.

NetBeans is a platform and IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for development of Java desktop applications. And about NetBeans IDE 6.5, it offers simplified and rapid development of web, enterprise, desktop, and mobile applications with PHP, JavaScript, Java, C/C++, Ruby, and Groovy.

Some new features added:

  • A robust IDE for PHP
  • JavaScript debugging for Firefox and IE
  • support for Groovy and Grail

Also NetBeans IDE 6.5 delivers a number of enhancements for Java, Ruby on Rails, and C/C++ development. There is built-in support for Hibernate, Eclipse project import, and compile on save too. So, overall I don’t quite know what this all means but to coders and programming geeks this has to be good news. So, can’t say anything more than enjoy. Download NetBeans IDE 6.5
