Tor Norbye and James Gosling Demo YUI Support in NetBeans at JavaOne

Tor Norbye and James Gosling show YUI support in the new NetBeans release; queue to 8:30 of the video.

Jason Lee wrote in with this tip:

In a general session with James Gosling at JavaOne last week, Tor “NetBeans Guy” Norbye demoed the really nice JavaScript support that was just added to NetBeans (code completion, browser-compatibility warnings, syntax highlighting, refactoring, etc). He did so using YUI, and NetBeans did a very nice job with the code complete, etc. Really slick demo…

Sun has video of the session; I recommend downloading the mp4 file and queuing to 8:30 for the NetBeans section, where Norbye shows how easy it is to instantiate a YUI Rich Text Editor using the new NetBeans JavaScript support.

  1. That is a nice demo. I use Netbeans quite a bit, and if the JS support is anywhere near as nice as the Java support in NB6.1, this is well worth using.

    I wonder how favorably it compares with Aptana? As far as I know, the Netbeans implementation is more flexible, but it is clear to me how they really stack up in the real world.

    Anyway, nice pointer to the video.

  2. Very cool demo! I’ve used eclipse (among other IDEs) for long time… but since NetBean5.5 I tend to use it more and more and now with this very good support for ’scripting’ lang. (e.g. JS, php) it’s excellent tool for developers! Thank you Tor (and all the other team members) for putting the efforts in creating this great open source IDE.

  3. It isn’t free but IntelliJ has a remarkable JS editor that in my opinion kills aptana. Perfect if you have a backend in Java. If you use a mac I would say it is your best option for a true JS IDE

  5. Hi,
    I tried using the NB 6.1 for YUI coding .The code completion doesn’t work as show.when I tried on the editor it works for detecting YAHOO as I type YA..
    and similarly for widget and Editor but the configuration paramter that was shown in the screen cast does n’t come in as drop down.Also the variable to which this widget is attached shows it as YAHOO.util.Element .So I am not able to get editor.render method.It is the same with YAHOO.widget.TabView

    The other widget(calendar) I tried worked .when I assigned to variable that variable is ablet to get the method drop down of those belonging to the calendar.but here again the configuration parameter during the constructor would n’t work…
