  * JSF, Struts, JBoss, WebLogic integration

   Now we need your help! If you have an experience with the IDE and want to contribute some time and effort, let us know about you! We are looking for dedicated users willing to help NetBeans IDE 5.0 become rock solid. Go for it, register via http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/50/index.html now! Applications are being accepted until September 12, 2005.
