| <h1>NetBeans Wins Jolt Awards</h1> |
| <i>March 22, 2007</i><br> |
| <br><br> |
| NetBeans was a multiple winner at the <a |
| href="http://www.joltawards.com/2007/">17th Annual Jolt Product |
| Excellence Awards</a> ceremony which was held last night at the SD West |
| Conference in Santa Clara, California.<br> |
| <br> |
| The NetBeans 5.5 IDE picked up an award for Best Development |
| Environment, and the NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.5 and the NetBeans Visual |
| Web Pack both received Community Awards for mobile development and web |
| development respectively.<br> |
| <br> |
| Jeetendra Kaul, Vice President of Developer Products and Programs for Sun |
| Microsystems, accepted the awards on behalf of NetBeans and thanked |
| Jolt judges and the software industry for acknowledging NetBeans at an |
| opportune time, citing the company's growth in the past two years with |
| over 13 million downloads, a half-million mailing list subscribers and |
| more than 100 partners.<br> |
| <br> |
| In his acceptance speech, Kaul focused on attributes that have won |
| NetBeans and its products praise from critics and acceptance within the |
| developer community. He touched on the IDE's all-in-one functionality |
| for mobile, web and enterprise application development; NetBeans's continuing |
| leadership in the area of Java EE 5 support and most recently for Ruby, and |
| more. <br> |
| <br> |
| “Improving developer productivity through innovation is clearly a |
| winner,” he said.<br> |
| <br> |
| Regarded as the “Oscars” of the software industry, the Jolt Awards |
| recognize software products, books, and websites that have achieved |
| excellence in the areas of functionality, usability, problem-solving |
| and innovation. <br> |
