Tim Boudreau On The Future of NetBeans

Posted by timothy on from the soon-they-will-hatch dept.

maffstephens writes "With the release of NetBeans 4.0 set to reignite the open-source Java IDE war and all sorts of cool developments on the horizon, it seemed like a very good time to talk to one of the key senior NetBeans developers.
