New version of open-source development toolset hits the 'net for testing.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Not to be outdone by the confab for Eclipse developers at EclipseCon here, Sun Microsystems is announcing the beta of its NetBeans 6.1 integrated development environment.

While the Eclipse Foundation is holding its annual conference opening March 17 across town, Sun officials are announcing the availability of NetBeans 6.1, which delivers a set of features for JavaScript development, a key component for delivering AJAX Web applications and tighter integration of MySQL database functionality. NetBeans is Sun's open-source Java development tool set.

Other new features in the NetBeans 6.1 beta include performance enhancements, including faster startup and code completion; support for the Spring Framework; significant enhancements to the IDE's Ruby/JRuby support, including a new Ruby platform manager; and support for the latest version of Ruby on Rails and new hints and quick fixes in the editor.
