• 09:15am-10:00am (45 minutes): NetBeans 5.0 GUI Builder (Matisse) - Lecture, Demo, and Hands-on lab
• Abstract: 
• Matisse extends the current NetBeans IDE 4.1 Form Editor to provide simple and intuitive layout of GUIs without having to understand the complexities of Swing layout managers. As you drag and drop components into a form, the IDE automatically suggests allignment, spacing, and resizing constraints. Unlike GridBagLayout, the positioning is deteremined by the look and feel of the platform the app runs on. Resize it, localize it, run it on a different platform; with Matisse, your GUIs will always look great.

• 10:15am-11:15am (60 minutes): NetBeans Modules (Plug-in's)  - Lecture, Demo, and Hands-on lab
• Abstract: 
• NetBeans IDE offers comprehensive support for building IDE plug-in modules and rich client applications on the NetBeans platform. A lot of support for extending the IDE and creating applications on top of the NetBeans Platform is provided. Using brand new templates in the New Project wizard and New File wizard, you can generate all the basic files and code you need. The Project Properties dialog box lets you configure API dependencies, MANIFEST.MF entries, and other project metadata. Code completion and other standard support provided by the Source Editor is available for plug-in modules too.

• Abstract:
  
• In this part of the work, we will use Tom Wheeler's tutorial on  how you can create your own application based on the NetBeans platform. Among other things, he discusses the source and configuration files common to all modules, how to separate interface from implementation for greater flexibility, and how to "brand" the NetBeans platform to use your own menus, labels and graphics.

• 01:30pm-02:15pm (45 minutes): Web App, JavaServer Faces(JSF) and Struts, AJAX Blueprint   - Lecture, Demo, and Hands-on lab
• Abstract:
  
• Although you've always been able to use JavaServer Faces (JSF) and Struts in the IDE, it's never been easy. In NetBeans IDE 5.0, the New Project wizard has been extended so that while you create a web application, you can specify that you want to use JSF, Struts, or both. When you make this selection, the IDE adds all the JSF and Struts libraries to your application, as well as all their configuration files. While using the configuration files, you have code completion to support you as well as the ability to have menu items create all the tags the configuration files need. The New File wizard has also been enhanced -- you can choose templates for the creation of JSF Managed Beans, Struts Actions, and Struts Form Beans. And what if you have existing web applications? Can you add JSF and Struts support to them? Yes, of course. Use the new "Frameworks" panel in the Project Properties dialog box.

• Abstract: 
• Need to discuss code with other developers remotely? Want to conduct a code review but your team is distributed across continents? With Developer Collaboration, you can do both and intuitively at that!  The Developer Collaboration feature in NetBeans  IDE allows you to connect to a collaboration server or our collaboration service on java.net. With this feature, you can engage with other developers, in either private or public conversations, whether they are located in the next room or across the continent using the familiar chat capabilities that you are used to. The chat capabilities provide the added benefit of being able to "talk" code, which is sent and received with all appropriate formatting in place. As the figure to the right shows, you can send messages in plain text, XML, HTML, or Java code format. The message composition window is a full-fledged source editor with all of the code-completion features in place. Share projects and files in real time, allowing others in the conversation to make changes, which are represented to the rest of the group in visual cues.
