| Publish Plug-ins Painlessly (Part 1)
|
| In 5.0, creating the framework of a plug-in module is a piece of cake. But,
|
| after you finish developing the plug-in module, how do you publish it? It's
|
| really a lot easier than you might think. Let Geertjan show you how. In his
|
| blog he explains the steps you should take when creating an Update Center.
|
| Don't really know what an "Update Center" is? That's another reason to read
|
| his blog:

| Using Java Web Start to Launch NetBeans
|
| Charles Ditzel writes, "If you missed Hans Muller's blog you missed a very
|
| nice achievement. Hans has used Java Web Start to launch NetBeans. This
|
| achievement allows you to select a link on a web page and boom - it loads
|
| NetBeans over the wire. As one developer said - "Wow, this is one of those
|
| eye-opening experiences...". It is."

| Developer.com Winners for 2006
|
| Lukas Hasik writes, "Sun is listed 5 times in list of winners published on
|
| Developers.com. I glad to see Sun listed there and winning the prices but...
|
| Personally I'm little bit disappointed that NetBeans or Mobility Pack are not
|
| listed there. How could Wireless ToolKit (WTK) beat Mobility Pack?"
