The most asked question about Netbeans at W-JAX 📎

At the W-JAX conference in Munich I shown some source code during a Java EE 5 workshop and explained EJB 3 using Netbeans 6b2 and Glassfish. I had to anwer some funny questions during the presentation:

  1.  is Netbeans free?
  2. is Netbeans opensource?
  3. what plugins are installed (I used just the UML Plugin and the Java EE edition)
  4. is the UML-Plugin free?
  5. How new is the matisse GUI Builder ("matisse")?
  6. Comes netbeans really with the profiler?
  7. Runs the JSF code only on Glassfish?
However it was fun. I enjoyed the workshop and the participants. The first two questions were asked in different variations :-).
