After several weeks, the long-awaited update to NetBeans 6.7, now with JavaFX support, is finally released to the general public.

As you may recall, it was our expert recommendation to NOT uninstall or replace your NetBeans 6.5/6.5.1 IDE if you are actively developing for the JavaFX platform, since it was not available as a feature in NetBeans 6.7. And since there are no significant issues with installing NetBeans 6.7 alongside an existing 6.5 or 6.5.1 installation, that was a usable pattern at the time.

With the release of NetBeans 6.7.1, you may choose to replace your previous installation of NetBeans 6.7 with this update. For those of you who are cautious or conservative in your dev rig upgrading processes, it is advised that you do not immediately remove NetBeans 6.5/6.5.1 from your dev rigs until after you have determined that NetBeans 6.7.1 provides you with a satisfactory level of JavaFX programming functionality comparable to what you currently enjoy with the previous version. :-)
