 <h5>Please tell us a bit about yourself and how you discovered NetBeans.</h5>
 Well, I'm a <a href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/fabriziogiudici/">Java
 enthusiast</a> and work primarily as a Java Architect. I
 run my own company: <a href="http://www.tidalwave.it">Tidalwave s.a.s</a>;
 it's
 essentially a one-person firm, so it's more appropriate to say I'm a
 freelancer. Since last year, I've worked mostly with <a
  href="http://www.sourcesense.com">SourceSense s.r.l</a>. I live as a
 quantic particle with spread
 over Northern Italy, with the highest probabilities of realization in
 Genoa
 and Milan.<br>
 <br>
 I had my first experience with NetBeans circa version 3.6 as a support
 for teaching Java courses for Sun Educational Italy. At the time, <a
  href="http://blogs.sun.com/geertjan/entry/interview_teaching_java_through_netbeans">most
 Italian instructors used NetBeans</a>
 since it was much to have students not get lost while
 writing their first EJB, for example. But at the time I thought it was
 too slow and
 good only for teaching. Eclipse was more productive and
 was my favourite IDE until the beginning of 2006. NetBeans 5.0
 had just been released and I was a skeptic. But I think that
 every prejudice should be validated (or invalidated) by proof, so I
 started playing with it. After some months, I understood the potential
 of the new NetBeans—it was a completely different product. When 5.5
 came out (and being aware of the roadmap to 6.0), I abandoned Eclipse. <br>
 <br>
 <h5>What are your thoughts on the previews of NetBeans 6.0?</h5>
 I've been using Milestone 10 for production (J2SE and J2EE)
 since July, and I completed the conversion of my RCP applications this
 summer. I've just done some minor adjustment this past week to
 upgrade to 6.0 Beta 1. The changes to NetBeans since 4.x are
 unbelievable and the gap with Eclipse has been completely filled in
 most areas. I find NetBeans much better for things such as J2EE
 development, but the Rich Client Platform is probably the thing that I
 like more.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>Let's put you in the hot seat! What are some things NetBeans could
 do
 better?</h5>
 The team in Prague has done an excellent job. The roadmap from 5.0 to
 5.5 to 6.0 has been pretty dead-on to recover lost ground. Today we
 have an IDE with excellent support for J2EE; an excellent Swing
 designer; support for other languages such as Ruby (and the Schliemann
 Project will foster support for even more); an effective debugger and
 an unbelievable profiler. Everything out-of-the-box! Now people must
 concentrate on stability and improving performance for 6.0 FCS. (I also
 hope that UML and J2ME problems with Mac OS X will be addressed in some
 way, even though they depend on factors that are out of Sun's control.)
 The next steps must include even better refactoring support and looking
 at IDEA as an ideal target. Today we already have Jackpot, a
 refactoring engine that can be programmed with a declarative language,
 but we need stuff ready to work in a few keystrokes.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>You'll be attending and presenting at the three NetBeans
 Software Days scheduled this month in Italy—Rome, Milan and
 Cagliari.
 Can
 you give us an overview of your presentation: ”<span
  style="font-style: italic;">Sailing on NetBeans
 Platform</span>”?</h5>
 It's an introduction to the Rich Client Platform based on my
 experience with an open source project named <a
  href="http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it/">blueMarine</a>, a platform for
 managing photo workflow. It's something I started working on in 2003
 initially for fun just after I bought my first digital reflex
 camera. In the presentation, I'll share my experience with
 blueMarine, from the first two years of development which were
 frustrating because Swing was too slow and lacked a serious platform,
 until I completely redesigned the application on top of the NetBeans
 Platform. <br>

 Screenshots of blueMarine</a><span style="font-style: italic;">)</span><br>
 </div>
 <h5>Why did you create blueMarine? How does it differ from other photo
 management applications?</h5>
 During my first years with serious photography, I realized that I was
 deeply unsatisfied with existing software on the market. You needed one
 software for editing, one for cataloguing, another for publishing, and
 so
 on.&nbsp; Also, I had a vision of a generic expandable platform that
 would go beyond mere cataloguing and editing, and instead include some
 of the cool stuff that we have today, such as geotagging, the ability
 to associate geographic coordinates to a photo and use
 them to share the photo or plan new trips. I also wanted the program to
 be an
 open platform where people could integrate their own stuff. Of course,
 several years later the panorama has changed, and we have programs such
 as Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture. Still I feel that they are not
 expandable and open enough, and Linux is lacking such a comprehensive
 application.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>What were the benefits of using the NetBeans Platform for
 blueMarine?</h5>
 The added value is that it's Swing. Before the NetBeans experience I
 had looked quickly at Eclipse RCP; at the time it was probably the only
 viable framework for developing desktop applications. But I hated the
 idea of learning a new set of APIs —Eclipse is based on its own SWT—and
 throwing away my knowledge, even though limited at the time, of the
 Swing APIs. Furthermore, I felt that if you deal with photography you
 need to provide a pleasant user interface beyond mere effectiveness.
 Swing had a good foundation in this area, even though developing a new
 Look-and-Feel was a pain initially. Today Swing provides a
 huge set of Look-and-Feel choices (Substance, Synthetica, Nimrod, to
 mention a few) and when Jasper Potts finishes his new <a
  href="http://nimbus.dev.java.net/">Nimbus
 Look-and-Feel</a> and the related
 design tools we'll go another leap forward. And with the tremendous
 evangelizing effort of people such as Romain Guy, people tdday should
 have no doubt about Swing's ability to realize rich clients. As far as
 I know, there's nothing of the sort in the SWT world.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>Is there a strong community of NetBeans users in Italy? Are the
 three
 NetBeans Software Days a strategy to grow one among Italian
 developers?</h5>
 Really, I don't know. The coming NetBeans Days will be our chance to
 measure the Italian enthusiasm about NetBeans and to get direct
 feedback. In the following months and in 2008 I plan to travel a bit
 and visit the many JUGs we have in Italy to get an even better picture
 and spread the word about NetBeans. Some JUGs are working on some cool
 initiatives about NetBeans, but they are in the early stages and I
 prefer not to disclose details now.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>Let's talk about the Dream Team: How has it enhanced your
 participation
 in the NetBeans project?</h5>
 The Dream Team is a wonderful idea. You know, it's not only that you
 have a direct channel to Sun Engineers, Evangelists and the other
 excellent professionals on the NetBeans team, it's also a matter of
 “feeling like part of a team”. I mean it's not only about the
 technology, there's the human value in it. It's really stimulating.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>What's next in your efforts as a “Dream-Team-er”? Is there a
 project you want community help
 with?<br>
 </h5>
 I think I've received a lot from the Dream Team (both technically and
 in enthusiasm), but I'm not satisfied with what I have given back so
 far. I plan to improve my contributions in 2008. On the whole, the
 Dream Team is producing very good results and thoughts, but it can do
 much more. When we are able to work more closely maybe on a common
 activity, we will experience a quantic leap. At the moment the fact
 that we are physically apart is perhaps a limiting factor, and I hope
 that during one of the next major conferences most of us will be able
 to meet personally. Yes, it is the age of Second Life—which I hate, by
 the way—but shaking hands and laughing together is still another thing.
 <br>
 <br>
 <h5>How long have you been into photography?</h5>
 I have liked photography since I was a child, but I jumped into it
 seriously around 2002. The previous year had been a challenging one
 psychologically and
 photography was my release. But now it's much more than just
 therapy—it's a real passion. Sometimes I think that I work just for it!
 I'm a Nikonian—I own a Nikon D200, a D70 and a D100 (unfortunately, the
 latter two are out of order as of this summer), and a good set of
 prime lenses. While in the first years I went almost exclusively for
 birds, now I do a lot of landscapes and some architecture too.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>Do you get feedback from other photographers about blueMarine?</h5>
 I've gotten limited feedback, but this has been intentional—I prefer to
 wait until blueMarine is usable before talking to the photographers'
 communities. But some people have already given feedback and inspiring
 reviews. For instance, <a href="http://www.bloomingstars.com">Emmanuele
 Sordini</a>,
 one of my best friends, is an amateur astrophotographer and talked to
 me about a unique way of processing photos of planets, called “image
 stacking”, which today is only available as part of a specific
 software. We got mutually excited about what we were doing, and as a
 result Emmanuele wrote a Java version of "image stacking" and
 integrated it into <span style="font-weight: bold;">blueMoon</span>,
 the first core of a blueMarine plugin for
 astronomic photography. Together we also developed the capability of
 run tasks in a local grid (using Jini and Rio) and even deployed them
 on the Sun Grid. (We have already demonstrated some prototypes that
 will be available out-of-the-box very soon). Now I hope to repeat this
 kind of experience with other photographers and other scenarios.<br>
 <br>
 <h5>You've got some incredible shots on your <a
  href="http://www.timelesswanderings.net">photo website</a>. When do
 you find
 time to practice your hobby?</h5>
 At the moment, the site shows only
 a fraction of my latest photos. There's plenty of old stuff that
 I should probably remove. When I complete publishing capabilities of
 blueMarine many others will follow. Finding time is a challenge, but I
 try to match it with my business
 travels. For instance, I try to avoid planes while traveling in Europe.
 I prefer driving but avoid highways as much as I can. There's an
 infinite number of things to discover along white roads! Last year, I
 went to JavaPolis by driving three days to Antwerp and two days on the
 back journey. It was beautiful, and I'll do it again this year.
 Furthermore, I think I'm lucky to live in Genoa and Milan: Tuscany is
 just a few hundreds kilometers east-bound, Provence a few hundreds
 kilometers west-bound–they are probably the two most beautiful regions
 in the world. I'm there as often as I can. <br>
 <br>
 Oh, and traveling matches another passion of mine: gastronomy. :-)<br>
 <br>
 <h5>Give us one of your latest shots.</h5>

 Good
 luck with your presentations at NetBeans Day, and with blueMarine!</h5>
