If you’re a module developer, not a platform developer, you probably want to look at NetBeans API website . Works in progress Threading Model What it does now, what is wrong, what is right, what might be fixed, what the possibilities are, ... A document in progress, only for the curious at this stage. Analysis & Proposal DataSystem Redesign The central place for DataSystems redesign Looks API About Looks : general information on why Looks API exists what it provides and how it is related to the Nodes API. Looks HowTo : document describing usual usecases for the looks API including short examples of code. Master File System Platform submodule located at openide/masterfs Requirements, SPI, API,... Performance assessment of the API and implementation Window System Rewrite See the main window system page . PropertySheet Rewrite Draft UI spec Draft implementation design All tasks related to reimplementation of PropertySheet as a JTable (the current thinking) are tracked under umbrella issue 29447 in IssueZilla Status: already merged to the CVS trunk Improvement of Wizard API Wizard API - Summary of problems, requirements and plans (document in progress). All issues corresponding in Wizard API improvement are tracked under umbrella issue 26552 in IssueZilla. Compatible Development There is a lot of different products build around NetBeans. Most of them with completely independent schedule and different needs. For some of them getting patches and functionality updates is desirable , for most of them compatibility is a requirement . We have to find how to develop and deploy different parts of NetBeans system in a way that will be compatible and will leverage the most from future updates. The suggested solution is based on clustering the functionality of each product to smaller parts developed at once (platform, java support, xml support, web support, etc.) and composing the resulting product from few such clusters . The whole description is part of the necessary architecture changes requested during architecture reviews during release 3.5 . Modularize NetBeans Platform Done for NetBeans 5.0. There is no openide anymore . See umbrella issue 19443 or the modularize document. Seamless Integration with Native OS Another issue initiated by architecture reviews during release 3.5 is to naturaly fit into the hosting operating system NetBeans and any product build on top of NetBeans runs in. This means to distribute platform and other clusters in RPMs and Solaris packages (issue 32081 ) and better organize the file layout and directory structure of the installation (issue 32080 ). The solution is described in the installation proposal ). It is also necessary to follow the format of command line arguments and make it POSIX compatible (issue 32053 ). This will result in a change of arguments like -branding into branding . Related to this change is also a request to warn user when a second instance of the application is started using the same user dir (issue 32054 ). Solution to both of these problems is described in the CLI proposal . Global Progress Feedback tracked under an umbrella issue 27403 Revised UI specification should come soon, in June Infrastructure to support the new Options dialog This work provides the infrastructure in the platform to support the implementation of the new Options dialog as defined in the UI spec Details about the implementation should be added soon Module clusters Coming soon UI Specifications Status Bar Exception Notification Tips and Tools Coming soon Links NetBeans Performance Website Collected Java Practices : website collecting best Java coding practices, things like how to use assertions wisely Some thought provocative writings from Joel Spolsky : Why it is almost always wrong to rewrite the code from scratch ( Things You Should Never Do, Part I , Netscape Goes Bonkers ) and what should be done instead ( Rub a dub dub ) The Law of Leaky Abstractions Nothing is as Simple as it Seems Obsolete (?)
