Developing Rich Client Applications Using Swing - II

| NetBeans 6.x
| NetBeans is an open source IDE that can be used to develop both open source
| and commercial applications. As with Eclipse, there exists a portal dedicated
| to plug-ins that extend the NetBeans base platform.
|
| [...]
|
| Anyway, it's possible to group these IDEs in categories by distinguishing
| between open source products (or near open source, i.e., low licence costs)
| and commercial products. An organization should ask oneself why choose a
| commercial solution if the same features are available in open source
| solutions too: what added value does a commercial IDE provide? Greater
| productivity? Greater support or documentation? Superior development tools?

Java and Linux - an open marriage in search of success
,----[ Quote ]
| That other pillar of open source, and creator of the GNU Project Richard
| Stallman, meanwhile, became one of Java's loudest opponents - sternly
| advising people not to install the closed-source evil that was Java, and
| giving Java as a dire example of corporate lock-in.
|
| Two years later Sun silenced the the baying crowd with OpenJDK - an
| open-source project based on Sun's closed-JDK codebase.
|
| Sun also released Java Standard Edition (Java SE) for the desktop, Java
| Mobile Edition (Java ME) for mobile devices and Glassfish - Sun's
| implementation of Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) - under GNU General
| Public License v2 (GPLv2). Sun said GPLv2 would achieve the objectives
| of "driving more volume and adoption for Java and maintaining the 'write once
| run anywhere compatibility' promise."
