** NetBeans on java.net**

Sun Microsystems announced at JavaOne a premier web-based open community 
created
to facilitate Java technology collaboration. We're pleased that the 
netbeans.org community
was offered to become a federated member of java.net and we are now part 
of this meeting
place for Java technology enthusiasts and innovation.

So why be part of java.net?

* to leverage this new, innovative community generating energy around 
Java technology
* to help NetBeans community and products gain much more visibility and 
drive more users to our technology
* more marketing opportunities
* java.net offers community tools such as blogs and wikis to enhance our 
communications
* to make use of news and other Java content that is available on java.net

Check out the new java.net site available today:
