 <h1>Desafio NetBeans - the Plugin Writing Contest - Announcing the Winners</h1>
 <br/>
 "Desafio NetBeans" means "The NetBeans Challenge" in Portuguese.
 In November of last year, <a href="http://sun.com">Sun Microsystems</a> and
 <a href="http://globalcode.com.br">Globalcode</a> announced a Brazil-wide contest
 to write plug-ins (modules) for NetBeans.  The prize:  Three winners get an
 expense-paid trip to the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/">JavaONE 2006</a>
 conference in San Francisco.

 <p>
 Last Monday, the <a href="http://desafionetbeans.dev.java.net/result_en.html">winners</a>
 were announced at <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roumen?entry=java_studio_enterprise_and_mobility">
 NetBeans Day Sao Paulo</a>.  The plugins were judged on criteria such as runtime quality,
 code quality, originality and usefulness.  Some plugins were developed by individuals, some
 by teams.  All are open-source.

 <p>
 First place went to Wagner Bastos&amp;
 <a href="http://desafionetbeans.dev.java.net/01-rsi.html">RSI Prevention Module</a>.
 It is a simple, well executed idea - repetitive strain injury is a serious problem.
 His module monitors your use of NetBeans, counting keystrokes, etc., and not
 only tells you when you should take a break, but actually provides animations of
 various stretching excercises.  The module is very nicely integrated into NetBeans,
 well written and quite polished and professional.

 <p>
 Second place went to the
 <a href="http://desafionetbeans.dev.java.net/02-mousegesture.html">Mouse
 Gestures Module</a>.  This is also a relatively simple - but incredibly original
 idea - instead of invoking an action from a menu or key-binding, you draw a
 shape on the screen while holding down the right mouse button.  You can bind
 whatever combination of motions you want to any action available within NetBeans.
 Talk about thinking out-of-the-box!  This module was developed by a team &mdash;
 Paulo Silveira, Evandro Augusto Munhoz Machado, Edson Kiyoshi Sato and
 Hideyuki Sekiguchi.  Since only three tickets to JavaONE were available, and
 one of them goes to Wagner, the whole team is splitting the cost to bring the
 other two with them to the conference in May.

 <p>
 There were four runner-up teams - they didn't win, but they did good work and
 in some cases wrote a <i>lot</i> of code:
 <ul>
     <li><b>UML Designer</b> &mdash; a basic tool for viewing source code as UML
     by Andre Piza, Nemer Daud, Rogerio Menegelli Gatto.
     </li>
     <li><b>Code Review</b> &mdash; a tool that lets you associate code review
     remarks with lines in source code, written by Marlon Luz and Lucas Luz.
     </li>
     <li><b>Hibernate support</b> &mdash; Hibernate is quite popular in Brasil;
     this module provides basic support for generating Hibernate mappings.  This
     plug-in was created by Wagner Santos.
     </li>
     <li><b>SpinJob</b> &mdash; This interesting tool lets you take a snapshot
     of a database and compare it against a later snapshot, created by
     Leonardo Goncalves da Silva, Ronaldo Cezar Spido and Paulo Henrique Muller.
     </li>
 </ul>
