I was dreaming of an open source Java development tool that let Website programming much easier and mostly visual, this will help juniors and beginners to start developing applications faster. I was dreaming of something like .Net environment, or the Borland DELPHI, but open source of course.

I am very happy to say that tool is already exist, I tried it and it proved very successful. It is the Popular Java tool NetBeans, with the Visual Web Pack.

Download Netbeans, and then the Netbeans Visual Web Pack, many tutorials are exist to help you start very fast, look at http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/vwp-index.html

All tutorials are full of screenshots and there are many blogs that share Netbeans experience with everyone. The help exist with the default setup is also very helpful.

It works a little slow on my 512M RAM machine (but OK, it worked just good enough), I think it will be very smooth and fast on 1G RAM.

Remember, everyone needs web development, even for inhouse website to improved knowledge sharing and workflow automation. Try it and share your experience with the world.
