<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=4124">Developing Mobile Websites with NetBeans and Netbiscuits</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
A mobile application developed with great expense might still be only displayed optimally on a very limited number of devices &mdash; due to the virtually incalculable number of mobile hardware and software platforms. The following article describes the development of a mobile website with the aid of NetBeans and Netbiscuits, a software platform that allows you to develop and deliver mobile websites for virtually all end devices worldwide.</p>

<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=4122">Tech Tip: Packaging Native Libraries in a JAR</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
Not all Java applications depend on native dynamic libraries (.dll, .so, .jnilib/.dylib files) but for projects that do depend on natives, packaging them is an important usability factor: Your users should not be required to install anything extra in order to run your JAR. This tech tip shows how you can integrate a One-JAR task into your NetBeans project's build script.</p>

He gives fellow developers an insight into his tools, his approach, and his reasoning, that let him find the memory leak and submit a patch to the code base. Very educational!</p>
