| want." Read more at

| NetBeans 5.5 Beta 2 Satisfaction Research
|
| We recently asked NetCAT 5.5 participants about their experience with
|
| NetBeans 5.5 Beta 2 and were very pleased by the results. The research
|
| proved that Beta 2 is far better that Beta 1 in stability. According to
|
| the answers performance is also good except slow code completion.
|
| Besides, we asked about freeform projects and it looks like the usage
|
| is low and people prefer NetBeans projects. If you want to provide your
|
| own answers, don't hesitate to reply in this thread:

| J2EE 5 Project and Mobility Pack 5.5
|
| Mobility Pack has two wizards for creating connection to a server: J2ME
|
| Web Service Client - generates client using Webservices API (JSR172) &
|
| Mobile Client to Web Application - generates a server part and a client
|
| part that communicates together. You can generate mobile clients to
|
| Webservice client too. The Mobile Client to Web Application needs an
|
| Web Application with webservice client, a class or a servlet that will
|
| provide data to it. Unfortunately the Mobile Client to Web Application
|
| doesn't work with JAX-WS 2.0 webservice clients. Read more from Lukas.
