Hot from the builders, we just cut a big release of Ubuntu Make 0.5 bringing fresh new support to a bunch of IDEs and programming languages! Web developers will see great enhancements in this release, but other developers are not left out! We welcome first a new “web” category which is hosting Dart support now! Dartlang fans would be able to get the editor and sdk installed, registered in the OS and added to the launcher in a simple command!

Bringing appmenu support for java application and Ubuntu Make 0.4.1 with an Intellij IDEA fix

Today we released Ubuntu Make 0.4.1 which validates the application menu support for some java application using swing (like Intellij, Android Studio…) and fixes Intellij IDEA support. Vertical screen estate is particularly valuable for developers, to maximize the place where you can visualize your code and not bother too much about the shell itself. Also, in complex menu structure, it can be hard to find the relevant items. Unity introduced a while back (2010!

Ubuntu Make 0.4 starts the new year adding Go support

Ubuntu Make 0.4 has just been released and brings Go support and a new game category! To hack using Go under Ubuntu, just open a terminal and type: umake go and here we "go"!

Ubuntu loves Developers

Ubuntu is one of the best Linux platforms with an awesome desktop for regular users (and soon phone and tablets and more!) and great servers for system administrators and devops. A number of developers are choosing Ubuntu as their primary development system of choice, even if they develop for platforms other than Ubuntu itself, like doing some Android development, web development and so on. However, even if we fill the basic needs for this audience, we decided a few months ago to start a development and integration effort to make those users completely feel at home.
