Articles in French Magazine

The June issue of Programmez (only available in the bookstore) 
(http://programmez.com) contains in the news section, 2 articles 
concerning NetBeans.

One concerning NB3.6 and another one concerning NB4.0 Refactoring Alpha 
Preview:

They were very positive:


Hereafter somes extracts concerning NB4.0:

"
Nous n'avons pas pu résister à la tentation d'installer et de toucher la 
prochaine mise à jour majeure de l'outil de Sun. Prévue pour l'été 2004, 
cette version reprend les bases de la 3.6. La v4 doit contenir XML 
Parser 1.1, des jeux J2EE (Deployement API 1.1 et Management 1.0), EJB 
2, JMX 1.2, un éditeur J2EE. Une des grandes nouveautés de la v4 est de 
baser son système de projet sur Ant. De plus, il évolue dans le bon 
sens. Il est enfin possible d'ouvrir plusieurs projets en même temps et 
faire des compilations inter-projets ! On pourra voir toutes les 
méta-données dans le VCS. Elle fonctionne sur J2SE 1.5. [...]

Nos premières impressions sont très positives, notamment sur les 
performances de l'outil et la réactivité de l'interface.
"

Free Translation:

"We installed the next major release of Sun's tool. It is based upon 3.6 
and will contains XML Parser 1.1, Deployement 1.1, Management 1.0, EJB 
2, JMX 1.2, a J2EE editor.
One of great new is based upon Ant-project system.
the IDE evolve in the right way. It is possible to open many projects at 
the same moment and do inter-project compilation.

Our first impressions are very positives. Certainly concerning 
performance of the tool and reactivity of the interface.
"

Another extract concerning NB3.6:
"
Development team did a very good work.
[..]
Interface has been reviewed.
[..]
Users will take benefits of the Code Folding feature.
[..]
the HIE is very pleasant. the RAD part is more veloce et reactive than 
before.
[..]
The function Run is always so practice as the immediat test of the .form.
[..]
Netbeans is very pleasant comparing to Eclipse.
[..]
NB3.6 is a good alternative to commercial RAD tools."
