I welcomed the opportunity to review Java EE 6 Development with NetBeans 7 for several reasons. First, I frequently use NetBeans 7 and look forward to learning new things about this IDE.

Developers will be able to test-drive the next generation Java programming language by using the new version of Oracle’s NetBeans IDE (integrated developer environment), released Wednesday ...

Version 7.4 of the IDE extends the HTML5 support provided in the previous release to Java EE and PHP applications, and becomes the first IDE to provide support for JDK 8 developer preview builds.
