Goals

Background and strategic fit
Build on an infrastructure actively developed by Oracle, the Java providers. Participate in and take adavantage of the NetBeans Platform evolution.
Reuse approved design patterns, concepts, API, and components. Save development resources to develop these on our own.
Get rid of JIDE license restrictions. NetBeans is fully GPL compatible (dual licensing, one is GPL).
Assumptions
Users should not have any problems switching from the old to the new GUI.
