- The NetBeans interview with James Gosling was just published today. 
James is the Sun Fellow and works in the Sun Labs. He's done the 
original design and implementation of Java, the NeWS window system and 
the original Unix Emacs editor.

- New module tomcatint was created per Petr Jiricka's suggestion to 
separate the code for integration of the Tomcat server from the web 
module. Read the original proposal and the subsequent discussion:

- The first beta of NetBeans could be expected soon. The latest Friday's 
Q-build candidate had only one Q-build stopper and was fixed soon. The 
number of P1 bugs (one of the beta criteria) seems to be under control 
during last week. Please look at the latest Q-build that was just 
promoted and report bugs:
