The BlueJ Team has announced the opening of the source code of the <a href="http://www.bluej.org/">BlueJ</a> and <a href="http://www.greenfoot.org/">Greenfoot</a> systems. Both have been released under the GNU General Public License version 2 with the Classpath Exception, the same license used by the NetBeans IDE.<br><br>
BlueJ is a great way for University students to learn programming and Java. After "graduating" from BlueJ, they can use the <a href="http://edu.netbeans.org/bluej/">NetBeans BlueJ plugin</a> to migrate to the NetBeans IDE. Greenfoot is a tool used to teach Java and programming to high school (and younger) students.</p><br style="clear:both;"/>
