NB splash image

I love the fact that in the past 2 years, Netbeans have been the “most improved IDE” in the dwindling Java IDE market. Having said that, it’s also a minor annoyance to keep downlaoding the next stable release constantly. It seems like there is a new “release” every 10 days. I barely had a chance to take the wrapper off of 6.5 and now I see 6.5.1 is available. Jeeze. I’ll give them credit for having the sexiest splash startup though.

Famous last words I posted on twitter today, “been (surprisingly?) productive today. I’m going to finish ahead of schedule ” No sooner did I say that when Jetbrain’s IDEA started to flake on me (see above). At first I thought it was a disk issue (logs pointed to the vfs) , so I wasted an hour or 2 going down that path. Disk is fine OSX disc permissions are fine…etc. I’m looking at other possibilities but I do know that I don’t have to stop development since this a maven project that lives in our subversion repositoriy. This is the point where all the whining and  b**tching about doing things The Maven Way is silenced in favor of the pure joy of using a “standard” project structure . Both IDEA (as of 8.x)  and NetBeans can open Maven Projects as IDE projects with all the classpath info intact. So as I wait for the Netbeans 6.5.1 to download I know that I should be ok to pick up where I left off. If this had been in some IDE specific  project structure, this would have been a real pain in my@$$.

Peace,
