NetBeans Platform 5.0
The NetBeans Platform has been around for years, but NetBeans 5.0
makes module (plug-in) development much easier and smoother than
ever before. New project types have been added to NetBeans IDE 5.0
which allows developers to easily extend the NetBeans IDE with modules
(plug-ins) or build rich client applications on top of the NetBeans
Platform.

NetBeans Platform 5.0 Information
Note: If you want to build applications on top of the NetBeans Platform,
you do not necessarily need to download the NetBeans Platform itself.
You can download NetBeans IDE 5.0, develop the application there, and
exclude the modules that you do not need.
NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.0
NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.0 adds several new keys features to an already
powerful and easy-to-use mobile Java development tool, including:
Improved end-to-end support for building web services-based mobile
applications for any MIDP device, new custom components in the Visual
Mobile Designer, improved pre-processor support for application
optimization and porting, editable generated code and improved
emulator support.

NetBeans Profiler 5.0
Profiler 5.0 is the official release of NetBeans high-performance Java
application profiler, add-on to the NetBeans IDE 5.0. Profiler 5.0
introduces a rich set of easy-to-use profiling and JVM monitoring
features built upon innovative dynamic bytecode instrumentation
technology that allow for profiling with a dramatically lower overhead,
thus giving the ability to obtain results in situations where the use of
other profilers becomes unpractical or impossible.
