a perfectly good IDE was completely ruined by removing its best feature? now its just a HUGE text editor. why was this feature removed?
The ObjectBrowser module has been removed from the standard distribution of the NetBeans IDE. There was an announcement and a follow-up discussion about this topic on the nbusers mailing-list. The module is available on the NetBeans Auto Update server and can be easily installed into NetBeans 3.3.x. Closing as WONTFIX.
