Please Backport NetBeans 6.9

[Leon Blakey]

NetBeans 6.9 is the new version of NetBeans 6.8, and offers improvements to various features. The official quick list includes improvements to:

JavaFX Composer to simplify and visualize JavaFX development
JavaFX SDK 1.3
Support for Equinox and Felix OSGi frameworks in NetBeans Platform
Spring Framework 3.0 library support
Java CardTM 3 Connected
Rails 3.0 Beta support
PHP Zend Framework support
Support for JSR-299, Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI)

More features are listed here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteworthy69 . This is a significant improvement, and is actually required by some plugins. Right now I'm installing the generic linux version, but I would much rather use the repo's.

You need to first request an update in Maverick as there is nothing to backport since it is the same package.

6.9 packages are now available to backport.
