Taifun is correct. The first version of App Inventor used a Java-based program to provide the blocks editor. App Inventor 2 switched to using Google Blockly to allow for editing blocks in the web environment to eliminate the need for a separate Java program for coding. All AI2 releases are branded with the nb moniker as it originally differentiated them from the AI1 releases and now it's just for historical reasons as AI1 is no longer running.
