Is the book about Java EE 5 or the book about using Netbeans? If some one is aware of the technologies he is working on, does he really need a *book* to understand and gradually master the usage of an IDE?
If you are familiar with Java EE the book will help you find NetBeans functionality that will make your life a lot easier.
The book does not assume Java EE knowledge, that way Java SE developers not familiar with Java EE can take advantage of it, however it will also be useful for developers familiar with Java EE so that they can quickly learn NetBeans functionality that can greatly increase their productivity.
