Apache NetBeans 11.1, the first release in a new quarterly release cycle for the integrated development environment, builds on its longstanding support for enterprise Java.
Released July 22, 2019, NetBeans 11.1 provides Java EE (Enterprise Edition) 8 support for Maven-based and Gradle-based web applications, allowing them to be deployed to Java EE 8 containers. NetBeans 11.1 also integrates with Payara, a replacement for the GlassFish Java server, and GlassFish 5.01.
The NetBeans Java code editor supports new Java language features including switch expressions and an enhancement to the Java launcher to support single-file source-code programs. Switch expressions were introduced in a preview form in Java Development Kit (JDK) 12. NetBeans 11.1 also integrates with the Gluon OpenJFX samples for JavaFX.
