Sun Microsystems Releases NetBeans 6.7; Enabling Millions of Developers to Connect Via NetBeans IDE and Project Kenai

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) and the NetBeans developer community today announced the availability of the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) 6.7. This new version of NetBeans features tight integration with Project Kenai, Sun's collaborative hosting site for free and open source projects. Developers can download the free, full-featured NetBeans IDE 6.7 at www.netbeans.org.

"The advances in the latest version of NetBeans will have a huge impact in the productivity of developers," said Jim Parker, vice president of Developer Products and Programs at Sun. "The integration between NetBeans and Kenai allows developers to stay in their IDE and quickly navigate between Kenai.com, local code, bug reports, IM chats and project wikis. Instead of interruptions, interactions with code, or looking for project information, team members become a natural part of the developers' workflow."
