See What's New in Version 1.1.
Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS allows you to run the NetBeans IDE on your desktop system and develop applications on a remote OpenVMS system.
In addition, Distributed NetBeans contains all of the functionality provided in NetBeans for OpenVMS plug-in modules: C/C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, and PASCAL language support, EDT keypad support, CMS support, and DCL support.
Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS is different from NetBeans for OpenVMS and the OpenVMS plug-in modules. Distributed NetBeans comprises two parts:
Distributed NetBeans Client for OpenVMS, which is a plug-in for NetBeans running on your desktop. You install the NetBeans IDE (from NetBeans.org) and the Distributed NetBeans Client for OpenVMS on your desktop system.
IDE Server for OpenVMS, which runs on OpenVMS and provides remote services for the client plug-in. You install the IDE Server on your OpenVMS system. (You do not need to install the NetBeans for OpenVMS IDE or any additional plug-in modules on your OpenVMS system.)
Communication between the client system and the remote server system is encrypted using SSL.
See Getting Started for links to the information you need to begin using Distributed NetBeans.
