Welcome to the NetBeans 10th Birthday Celebration! Join us as we celebrate our vibrant community and recognize people and projects that have shaped our success!
Since 1998, NetBeans has grown from a student project into an award winning Open Source project, IDE and application platform. With millions of downloads a year worldwide, the NetBeans community boasts an active and diverse following of software developers, students, instructors and partner companies. Throughout the week, visit this page for unique content—video greetings, community profiles and more—that will highlight some of the key initiatives and dedicated individuals whose contributions have kept the NetBeans momentum going strong.

Video Greeting from James Gosling
 | What better way to kick off our 10th birthday bash than with a retrospective and birthday greeting from the Godfather of Java, James Gosling! |
NetBeans Dream Team
 | Over the years, the NetBeans IDE has won awards and received positive reviews from the industry, but our best endorsements still come from within the NetBeans community, from developers who use our tool almost exclusively and encourage adoption among other developers. The NetBeans Dream Team is a group of super users who do just that and more. We are proud to acknowledge their commitment to the NetBeans project. |
