Foreword
NetBeans RCP—Das Entwicklerheft, Jürgen's original German book about the
NetBeans Platform, was published in August, 2008. What's happened with the
NetBeans Platform since then? Well, quite a lot, actually! NetBeans Platform 6.9
has been released, sporting a large set of features which Jürgen might only have
dreamed of while working on his book. Most signicantly, the new NetBeans
Platform support for integrating OSGi bundles needs mentioning in this regard.
Apart from that, there are many other new features, including new and changed
APIs, which to a greater or lesser extent have an impact on the text and the code that
the original book provided. Wherever relevant, and always as seamlessly as possible,
these new features have been introduced into this translated and updated version.
The spirit of Jürgen's original book remains intact: this is not a complete reference
guide to each and every detail that the NetBeans Platform provides Java desktop
developers. For those purposes, "The Denitive Guide to the NetBeans Platform"
(Apress) and "Rich Client Programming: Plugging into the NetBeans Platform"
(Prentice Hall) continue to be the best sources, together with the many NetBeans
Platform tutorials (
http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials), of course.
However, after reading those books and documents, many readers have asked
themselves: "OK, that's all very interesting, but how do I get started?" That's what
this book is all about, taking you by the hand and showing you many aspects of the
NetBeans Platform in step-by-step instructions, within one coherent whole.
Because of this approach, some readers may feel somewhat disappointed. For
example, Maven-based applications are not addressed at all in this book, simply
because that was not relevant to the particular application that Jürgen set about to
create. And, most topics in this book could deserve more pages, more explanation,
and deeper analysis. However, a balance had to be made between providing a
practical guide to the newbie, which this book tries to do, and providing a complete
and thorough reference guide, various forms of which already exist. Hopefully the
reader will forgive us for any errors made in this balancing act.
