A so-called 'release candidate' for version 5.0 of the NetBeans IDE 5.0 has just been released. It requires a J2SE JDK, version 1.4.2 or higher.

Release 5 of the NetBeans IDE will accelerate user adoption of NetBeans by providing additional unique feature enhancements: code aware developer collaboration, a new visual GUI development tool (Project Matisse), leading edge tools for developing mobile applications, and the NetBeans Profiler. Adding the profiler to the mix of tools available to the developer in the NetBeans IDE, enhances developer workflow, changing the model from edit/compile/test/debug to edit/compile/test/debug/profile, leading to more robust applications.

I´ve been using NB 5.0 since october 2005 and I´m really impressed with how that old heavy tool has evolved since 4.0 version. Netbeans guys are really working hard. I suggest any Eclipse user to try lastest Netbeans release and feel the quality by yourself.
