Java EE 6 Makes NetBeans Even Leaner - New Java EE Bundle Available
NetBeans 7 daily builds come with a dedicated Java EE Bundle. For Mac OS X the download size of the Java EE bundle (NetBeans 7 Development) is 152 MB (IDE + everything you need for Java EE 6 development) comparing it to 192 MB NetBeans 7 Beta Java build. Try it.
It also means: the difference between "Plain Java NetBeans" and NetBeans Java EE edition with Glassfish is only 93 MB...Posted at 12:22AM Feb 12, 2011 by Adam Bien in Netbeans | Comments[2] | Views/Hits: 3183

Netbeans 7 beta 2 (and i assume the daily build you are referring to) doesn't include ME, Card or Groovy, which accounts for the reduction in size.

@Neil,
yes -> I know that. But the official name was "Java" and the new name for the distribution is "Java EE". I only referred to the names.
NetBeans without JavaEE will be always bigger, than without. I'm absolutely aware of this effect :-)
thanks for the clarification,
adam
