Abstract
In this paper we introduce the JavaSpaces NetBeans IDE (JSN) which integrates the
JavaSpaces technology, an implementation of Linda principles in Java, with the
NetBeans IDE. JSN is a didactic tool for practical assignments during distributed
programming courses. It hides advanced aspects of JavaSpaces configuration and lets
students focus on interprocess coordination. An important component of JSN is a
distributed debugger which can help to make concurrent programming classes easier
to understand and more compelling.
