"Kenai is Sun's collaborative hosting site for free and open source projects. In addition to Kenai support, NetBeans 6.7 includes improved support for PHP and Apache Maven, enabling both Java and PHP developers to utilize the new IDE.

"Sun's latest IDE release comes barely a week after rival Eclipse put out its major release and as Oracle's acquisition of Sun looms near.

""NetBeans and Kenai are a natural fit," Tori Wieldt, NetBeans's marketing manager, told InternetNews.com. "With more than 23 million NetBeans IDE downloads and a vibrant NetBeans user community, we expect that more and more developers will take advantage of the hosting and collaboration features at Kenai.com. We've already seen a growth on Project Kenai -- they have over 13,000 members from 132 countries.""
