This is the NetBeans Platform without any IDE specific modules. You can reuse the whole windowing system, the menus, the toolbar, CVS integration, whatever you like, and exclude the rest. Then you include your business logic and windows by loading custom modules that you or other community members have created.

i-mail is an e-mail marketing automator that lets you embed almost any web page in an email and send it to a list of recipients (defined in a CSV file). The embed process include encoding images in base64 and include them as attached files (thus avoiding the "Load images" button in most mail clients), and fix any url in html body so links, forms and references to css files will be mantained.
It lets you request read confirmation and supports SSL connection to SMTP servers.
We decided to build i-mail over Netbeans RCP beause the great amount of common plumbing work it saved and because it enforces the modular aproach to software development. Specially important for us was the posibility for updating the software automaticly via updater centers, so we could easily send updates and bug fixes to our customers.

Spikeflow is an application for building and executing advanced web forms, spanning many pages. We have built-in support for many different kinds of components, validations, digital signing and connectors to back-end systems. We are targeting organizations who have a lot of paper-based forms and want to convert them into e-services. The target user for Spikeflow Creator is a non-programmer.
The editor, Spiekflow Creator, generates an XML file describing the flow (pages, components, styles and so on). This XML is deployed in the Spikeflow web application and evaluated in runtime. The end user is then guided (like in a wizard) through the questions, getting context sensitive help. In the end the data is signed, delivered to a Web Service, XML file or database. Or it could be rendered to a PDF and emailed. Learn more...

The Boeing Shared Platform is a logical outgrowth of building MassTk on top of the NetBeans Platform:
BSP is a feature-rich platform created by factoring out the modules from MassTk
that are not specific to mass properties analysis,
but are useful to engineering analysis applications in general.
In addition to the NetBeans Platform, the BSP includes a number of
third-party open-source libraries, as well as a number of Boeing-developed modules.
Currently there are a total of four applications being built with the BSP. Learn more...

The MassTk is an engineering analysis application by Boeing. It incorporates the functionality
from several legacy mass properties analysis applications that
were originally written in Java, Fortran, C, and even Perl.
MassTk is built on top of the NetBeans Platform 6.0.
It provides a rich GUI with custom editors for all business objects including 2D & 3D visualization.
Boeing uses MassTk to perform
payload balance solutions, loadability analysis, fuel management analysis,
fuel mass property analysis, and mass distribution to finite element models.
MassTk vastly improved pre- and post-processing of analyses,
it has a shallower learning curve, and lower maintenance costs.

Traditional ways of numerically modeling multiphase flow in oil reservoirs are
based on finite element/finite difference methods. However, such methods can
pose computational inefficiencies for specific modeling scenarios. Streamline-
based flow simulation is an alternative to cell-based methods and can
dramatically improve the computational efficiency of numerical models.
Because fluid flow simulators can be difficult to use and require significant
expertise and understanding of Reservoir Engineering concepts and experience, an
efficient and flexible interface between the complex numeric algorithms of the
simulator and the engineer is vital for ensuring best-practice use of the
software. An Interactive Development Environment (IDE) allows to rapidly adapt
the interface and simplify the use of a simulator as well as help the engineer
analyze output data graphically, manage large quantities of data and adjust
input parameters to ensure optimal performance.
Streamsim's IDE is called studioSL and it is a NetBeans branded application
written in Java using NetBeans platform's code and API's.
