There's been an explosion of applications which use the NetBeans Platform as their core runtime. This framework has proven to save years of development time, as the core runtime handles most of the grunt work of writing an application. Applications built this way are delivered as a set of modules written to NetBeans APIs, along with the core NetBeans runtime.

If you are writing any large desktop application, NetBeans offers a compelling toolset to get it done faster and with greater stability. The NetBeans Java IDE is one such application. NetBeans is an open source project under a Mozilla-style license.
