Building on the success of the 4.0 release, NetBeans IDE 4.1 Release Candidate is now available with the final version coming in mid-May. Take it for a test run and share your thoughts with the rest of the community on the NetBeans <a href="https://netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html">mailing lists</a>.

<p>In this issue learn how to Unleash the Power of NetBeans. NetBeans IDE 4.1 Release Candidate / Sun Java System Application Server PE 8.1 Bundle + NetBeans Mobility Pack 4.1 Release Candidate + NetBeans Profiler Milestone 6 = One hell of a development tool!

<p>First, I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the other news going on around the NetBeans.org project. There are several contributors who have been making waves.
<ul>
<li><a href="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roumen/">Roman Strobl</a> has come into his own with blog entries such as NetBeans Quality in Numbers and Scanning Classpath Performance Tips.
<li><a href="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/geertjan/">Geertjan Wielenga</a> has also become a strong resource with his entries Monitor HTTP Requests on JBoss 4 from NetBeans IDE 4.1 and NetBeans IDE 4.1, Ant, and Demi Moore. 
<li><a href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/vbrabant/archive/2005/04/wink_is_great_1.html">Vincent Brabant</a> has put together a nice presentation on how to have more room to edit your code in NetBeans 4.1. 
<li>And <a href="http://cld.blog-city.com/">Charles Ditzel</a> continues to propel NetBeans into the limelight through his blog with numerous NetBeans entries and the very valuable <a href="http://files.blog-city.com/files/aa/1263/b/NetBeansWorking.html">NetBeans Quick Links page</a>.</li></ul>

<p>There have been other contributions that are worthy of mention and your time:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/articles/ebay-sdk-api-calls-demo.html">Launching the eBay Java SDK API Calls Demo Sample Application from NetBeans 4.0</a> by Brian Leonard.
<li><a href="https://netbeans.org/kb/archive/index.html">Building and Running Project Looking Glass with NetBeans</a> by Charlie Hunt</li></ul>

Last but not least to the people who had their submissions published in the <a href="https://netbeans.org/competition/win-with-netbeans.html">Win with NetBeans</a> competition: Rich Unger, Ben Suter, Jason Stapley, Randahl Fink Isaksen, Raguraman Krishnamurthy, Vincent Brabant, Gregg Sporar, Miki Shimizu, Tommi Laukkanen, Zsolt Kiss, Travis Romney, Ryoji Sawa, Arthur Cheng and Jean-Baptiste Renaux.
