Netbeans Rich Client Platform

Hi All,
I've been very interested in the Netbeans Rich Client Platform: http://www.netbeans.org/products/platform/ And have been reading the Rich Client Platform book: http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Client-Programming-Plugging-NetBeans/dp/0132354802/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-6386533-3299626?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186511204&sr=8-2 I've had a sense that moving blue over to Netbeans RCP and doing a large code rewrite might clean up things a great, though I still don't know if it's going to be worth it in the end, as it might be a detractor for contributions from others who might not know the Netbeans platform. It's also quite a bit to redo and I still don't know if it would work to use the RCP for blue. Does anyone have any experience with the Netbeans Platform or have any thoughts on this?

There's truth in that, but that conventions I'm seeing so far in
designing apps in the Netbeans platform are pretty solid. One nice think that would be an almost instantaneous plus would be inheriting the windowing framework to merge editors into tabs and what not. Updating blue should be a cinch too as we could use netbeans update sites feature (i.e. I can push a bug fixed module, users can just do "Check for updates" and auto-download). I think that there would be some things which would require rewrites but a lot of it would be pretty much just grunt work and most of the codebase would be reused. I'm also thinking of the long, long term (years from now) though don't know if using all of these things would be a good thing or a bad thing. Well if anything, just wanted to get out to everyone that this is on my mind. I'm still doing research but if anyone has more to chime in please do.

Would it really be worth all the effort of a rewrite to have a slightly cleaner code-base? You obviously have to weight the pros and cons, and again, I know nothing of the pros in this decision (other than the benefits gotten from refactoring the code-base). However, with a rewrite comes a whole slew of new bugs, too. > > Michael Bechard > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Steven Yi <stevenyi@...> > To: blue developer list <bluemusic-devel@...> > Sent: Tuesday, August 7, 2007 1:30:43 PM > Subject: [Bluemusic-devel] Netbeans Rich Client Platform > > Hi All, > > I've been very interested in the Netbeans Rich Client Platform: > > http://www.netbeans.org/products/platform/ > > And have been reading the Rich Client Platform book: > > http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Client-Programming-Plugging-NetBeans/dp/0132354802/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-6386533-3299626?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186511204&sr=8-2 > > I've had a sense that moving blue over to Netbeans RCP and doing a > large code rewrite might clean up things a great, though I still don't > know if it's going to be worth it in the end, as it might be a > detractor for contributions from others who might not know the > Netbeans platform.

Looks interesting, but you might want to look at the Eclipse platform as
well. They are probably comparable, and the Eclipse stuff is probably being used by quite a few more people than Netbeans. - Dave Steven Yi wrote: > Hi All, > > I've been very interested in the Netbeans Rich Client Platform: > > http://www.netbeans.org/products/platform/ > > And have been reading the Rich Client Platform book: > > http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Client-Programming-Plugging-NetBeans/dp/0132354802/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/105-6386533-3299626?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186511204&sr=8-2 > > I've had a sense that moving blue over to Netbeans RCP and doing a > large code rewrite might clean up things a great, though I still don't > know if it's going to be worth it in the end, as it might be a > detractor for contributions from others who might not know the > Netbeans platform.

I've taken looks at Eclipse RCP before but haven't been attracted to
it for a couple of reason. One is that it uses it's own GUI toolkit, meaning I'd have to port all of my graphics code as well as learn another library. Considering I like Swing and Swing is a part of the standard Java virtual machine I'm more inclined to use that over SWT (and I'm not sure SWT is as easy to customize the look of as Swing). I've been using eclipse now maybe 5 years and netbeans for 2 or 3. Ever since Netbeans 5 beta I've been finding it getting better and better and I have a strong feeling that starting in the next Netbeans 6 that I might very well be able to use it for most of my blue (and other) development. Especially since Netbeans 6 includes support for my favorite versioning tool, Mercurial!
