Netbeans 6.1 Beta

I downloaded the latest Netbeans release last night. I've always like Netbeans better than Eclipse and now my major complaint with Netbeans has been solved. This thing starts up fast! The first time is came up I expected some delay since it had just been installed but it was up and running in about 6 seconds. This is easily a 4x improvement over the 6.0 version.

They are also sponsoring a blogging contest (so I'm doing this because I use Netbeans and because I'm an easy victim for a free shot at a prize ;-)

I'm still checking out the MySQL features included but I was very impressed with the improved startup speed and sine I don't look to my IDE for database management my expectations are not high.

If you are using Netbeans definitely give this new version a try. The startup speed alone is worth the upgrade.
