Downloading Day
Both NetBeans and IntelliJ released new versions yesterday or today. So I've been downloading.
They say this version of NetBeans should be a big improvement over the previous version. I'll see.
For both IDEs, I have to download a Linux version and a Windows version. It strikes me as odd that I have to do that. They spent all their time and energy to make the Linux version and the Windows version identical, and at the last step throw away that benefit for their users.
Whatever happened to executable jars?
Or is it time for the Cross Platform Installer API JSR?
