5 Things I like About Netbeans IDE





1. Cross Platform
The NetBeans IDE is great because it works on nearly every development platform. Windows, Mac, Linux ect.

2. Code Formatting

NetBeans allows programmer to quickly specify a coding style and then reformat the entire file currently open or highlight a subsection and reformat that code.

3. Built in Subversion
NetBeans also directly interfaces with subversion, cvs, and mercurial.

4. Code Assistance
NetBeans also makes many everyday tasks much easier. If you need to use a method for example, simply type the first few letter and hit control + space to auto complete. Even better if you forgot what the parameters are suppose to be simply hit control + p to get a listing of function parameters.

5. Integrated Debugger
The integrated debugger is also a major time saver because it can be setup to work with both java and C/C++. Thus it is
unnecessary to learn another debugging tool even when changing languages.
