At a steady pace Gerd continues to add features and stabilize the existing ones in the db4o plugin for Sun's pure Java NetBeans 6.0 IDE aka db4o-netbeans.

The documentation has been updated. You can check the new features on the db4o-netbeans home or download it directly from here.

Feature list for version 0.6:

  • Create/Open/Close a db4o database file
  • Browse the objects stored in the database
  • Change properties of stored objects
  • Add/Remove objects
  • Add/Remove queries
  • Executing queries
  • Displaying query results in a separate editor window
  • Auto-Update functionality
  • Host a db4o database file in an embedded server
  • Sending text messages to a db4o database server

Changes in version 0.6:

  • Adding multiple objects to an initially empty db4o database
  • Sending text messages to a db4o database server
  • Password field also enabled for db4o database fields
  • Output Window Support
  • Bug fixes 

Soon, after finishing the most important basic features to the plugin, Gerd will have a look on how to add support to the Visual Web Pack integrated into NetBeans. This will be good milestone for a tight integration of db4o database into NetBeans.
As usual any feedback is appreciated!
