Good Java EE 5 tool coverage for NetBeans
Provides good Java EE 5 tool coverage. The chapters on the Visual Web and JPA tools were very informative. I code different Java EE5 apps quite a bit and haven't found a great tool for working with the various technologies. I specifically bought this book to help me understand how NetBeans can help working with Java EE5. The book definitely helped!
The chapter on code coverage tools was useful as well since it documents integrating external tools (Cobertura) via Ant into NetBeans.
Only negative is that I wish it would have covered the netbeans profiler in one of the chapters.
Overall, I liked the tone and style since there were easy to follow step-by-step instructions, but lots of examples and tips. This is definitely a useful companion for a NetBeans user.

Disappointing, to say the least
This book was a major disappointment, at best. According to the author, as well as the "Apress Java Roadmap", the book is targeted at intermediate to advanced users, however there is nothing very advanced in this book. Instead, it focuses on such trivial items as: "why use an IDE" [page 4] and "Altering a Theme's Messages" [page 100] with instructions on how to change terms such as "Available" to "Watcha Got" and "Selected" to "Watcha Picked". Real advanced stuff, there....

Great book about NetBeans 5.5
Great book on NetBeans. This book features the Enterprise-related features of NetBeans (see the book's title). I very much liked coverage of the variety of features such as EJB, Web Services, Visual Web, UML, etc. IMHO, I consider myself a professional developer and there were plenty of things in this book I didn't know. I also loved the discussion on test coverage. Written lots of JUnit tests, but didn'ty know much about code coverage tools. Very useful examples and step-by-step setup.
Jun 9, 2007 Dan Posey from Huntsville, AL, USA
Barely scratches the surface of this tool.
Based on my other Apress books I was expecting a lot more from this one. A better title for this book would be "An Executive's Guide to Netbeans". Not recommended for the professional developer.
