NetBeans 3.4 released and available for download

The NetBeans open source project has just released
NetBeans 3.4!

NetBeans 3.4 offers improved performance and new features
to help YOU be more productive.

One of the things that really counts in productivity
is features that save time in doing what you
do most - writing code.  And that's where most of the
enhancements you'll see in NetBeans 3.4 are focused.
You can download it now from
http://www.netbeans.org/ide/download.html
and begin to enjoy:

  - Pop-up Javadoc[TM] documentation - NetBeans' already excellent
     code completion now displays documentation for classes
     as you navigate them, resulting in fewer missteps
     during development.

  - Live parsing and error marking - syntactical and semantic
     errors are highlighted as you type.  Where before you might need
     to recompile to find simple typos and minor errors, you now
     get instant feedback.  Compile less, compile successfully
     more!

  - Completely redesigned debugger user interface

  - New editor toolbar for fast navigation to class members
     and easy access to powerful editor features

  - Drag and drop support - drag tabs between windows to customize
     your desktop (JDK 1.4.1 only on
     Windows); drag tree nodes such as methods and fields
     between classes and more

  - Windowing system improvements to use screen space more
     efficiently

  - Close buttons on tabs in the editor and elsewhere

  - And much more...

You also get all of the features you've already come to expect
in NetBeans, such as CVS support, code completion, JSP & Servlet,
CORBA, RMI, JDBC support, and support for multiple JDKs.

And of course, there are plenty of both free and commercial
extensions available, from refactoring, profiling and UML
support to Java3d, and even audio and video players!  For
