NetBeans Platform

During development of NetBeans Platform 6.5, an effort was made to improve the testing infrastructure provided for NetBeans Platform applications. Prior to that, many small magical build scripts and other configuration files were needed when setting up the test infrastructure for NetBeans Platform applications. Since then, however, there is inherent support for testing NetBeans Platform application within the NetBeans Platform's build harness scripts. Therefore, unit and functional tests for NetBeans Platform applications are now supported out of the box. This simplification of the testing infrastructure is sometimes referred to as "simpletests", since it greatly simplifies the work necessary to set up such tests for your application.

Neural Networks on the NetBeans Platform

Learn about neural networks (computational models inspired by the way the human brain works) and how to use Neuroph Studio (a neural network development environment built on top of the NetBeans Platform) to create, test, and deploy Java components based on neural networks.

The NetBeans Platform is a generic Java Swing application framework that provides GUI components and a module system for the development of custom desktop applications. The best known application on the NetBeans Platform is, of course, the NetBeans IDE, but there are also many other examples that can be seen at the NetBeans Platform Showcase.

Templating with JSF 2.0 Facelets

Learn how to develop a Facelets Web application in Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11g and deploy the application to Oracle WebLogic Server 11g. In JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0, Facelets is the default view declaration language (VDL) instead of JavaServer Pages (JSP). With Facelets, you don’t need to configure a view handler as you used to do in JSF 1.2. Facelets is a JSF-centric view technology.
