Netbeans is an IDE, typically used by Java developers, it also supports a variety of other languages, like PHP, Ruby, C/C++ and Javascript. I'd like to see the latest stable version of netbeans included in Mageia (Netbeans 6.9.1 at the time of this writing).
Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 1
Might as well wait for 7.0, which is due imminently.

NB 7.0 depends on JDK 7, which is currently unstable, and will remain that way even after Mageia's release. Maybe we could put NB 6.9.1 in the main repo, and NB 7.0 in backports?
7.0 has *support* for JDK 7 features, it doesn't depend on it. In fact, the NetBeans site says that the version they use to test is JDK6 build 24.
adding netbean is in the pipe, i just need maven first which is now my task ( now that eclipse is available )

@Frank Maybe it doesn't require it, but 6.9.1 would be a safe bet since we don't know when 7.0 will be released. Some distributions have very outdated versions of netbeans, and people don't complain since they download and install it straight from the website. @Morgan Thank you for the information.
FYI I'm runing Mageia 1 beta 1 inside VMware Workstation 7.1. I have just installed Netbeans 7.0 RC2. I installed it at; /home/jan/Program/.... Installation get OK, no problem. I also created a small databaseapplication. Creating this databaseapplication get OK, no problem depending on Netbeans or anything else without myself :)
