LDAP Explorer 0.2 released
Written on February 17, 2010 by Allan Lykke Christensen
Over a nice glass of red wine I finished the second release of LDAP Explorer for NetBeans. New in this version:
- Support for NetBeans 6.7
- Possible to create LDAP connection profiles in the Services window
- Cleaner browser window with the option to see attributes in table- or LDIF view.
You can download the new release from the Google Code Project Page or on the NetBeans Plugin Portal.
If you find any bugs or would like to see your favourite features in the module, please go ahead add it to the project page or as comments to this post.
Enjoy!

Just a question.
Nice idea, but why Netbeans 6.7 now when 6.8 is out?
/Peter
That was my initial though as well. I found that there are still many people using NetBeans 6.7, so rather than compiling the code against the 6.8 API, I simply compiled the code against the 6.7 API, which made it compatible with 6.7 without any extra code or losing any functionality.
I would be interesting to hear from NetBeans.org, how many people are still using NetBeans 6.7 and older versions. They must have this from users enabling anonymous usage tracking.
Ok, seams fair. Personally speaking I skipped 6.7 because it seamed to hang to often, running the scanning task.
/Peter
The major problem for many people to upgrade from 6.7 to 6.8, is that 6.8 only comes with GlassFish v3, which is not fully compatible with JavaEE5 applications created for GlassFish v2 (at least I couldn’t take our JavaEE5 EARs and deploy them in GlassFish v3 without changes).
Allan,
You know though that if you have GlassFish v2 installed, you can just register that server with NB 6.8? (Services window, right-click Servers node, click Add Server)
Hi Jeff,
Yes, that is what I finally resorted to. Thanks.
