    Comments about Apache NetBeans as an Alternative to Xamarin Studio

    One of the nice facts about NetBeans is, that it allows (almost) WYSIWYG GUI building with 'Java Swing' (where the user obtains a Design pane which syncs with a Source pane), or with 'JavaFX', although I've only experimented with Java Swing. While NetBeans has limited support for some other, Web-server-oriented languages, it has no support for C#. Also, NetBeans has support for 'Java EE', which is now called 'Jakarta EE', and for the 'Tomcat' Web-server.
