Apache NetBeans IDE 30 released
Apache NetBeans IDE 30 drops today with a focus on practical workflow fixes rather than chasing new features. The release speeds up Git operations, updates bundled build tools to match current standards, and sharpens code completion for modern Java and PHP syntax. Editor improvements include better markdown previews, automatic TOML and YAML support, and expanded language server protocol integration that now handles Rust directly. Under the hood, startup caching gets optimized, memory overhead drops with compact object headers, and enterprise stack compatibility finally catches up to recent GlassFish and Payara releases.
