The Definitive Guide to NetBeans Platform

The NetBeans Platform is the world's only modular Swing application framework, used by very large organizations in mission-critical scenarios, such as at Boeing and Northrop Grumman, as well as in the financial sector and in the oil/gas industry. For these large customers in enterprises, who are increasingly interested in Maven and OSGi, the book will have particular relevance.

The Definitive Guide to NetBeans Platform is a thorough and definitive introduction to the Open Source NetBeans Platform, covering all its major APIs in detail, with relevant code examples used throughout.
* Provides a completely updated definitive guide to the NetBeans Platform, using the latest APIs, coding patterns, and methodologies. * Focuses strongly on business features in an application, since Oracle's customers are particularly interested in business-related aspects. For example, how to use OSGi, how to add authentication/security, how to monetize from a modular application. All NetBeans Platform developers will gain something from this book, because several topics in the book have not been documented anywhere else.
