I think it is a great idea for nbmarketing to review these documents. We can try this with any upcoming documents, Stay Tuned!
*Please not that is not the submission I made. Sites such as theserverside, can & usually will edit your submission. They chose to merge what
they found in the media with my submission on the changes in the roadmap.
PS. Vincent you can follow your stats at - http://www.netbeans.org/community/teams/marketing/mtn-results.html
Be aware that there is currently a delay in the results. Should be fixed soon.

>I read the article posted by Robert on the server side

>And I also read all the comments.

>And then, I just though about how to enhance that article to maybe have better

>So, I take the article posted by Robert, and give here my comments/remarks.
>My remarks are here only to enhance communication with java developpers, and not
>to do some critism about your work.

>> Sun and the NetBeans.org open source tools community unveiled a new roadmap
>for the NetBeans Application Framework,
>> detailing the path to version 4.0.
>
>> This comes after Sun decided not to join Eclipse.
>
>> New features
>
>> * New Project System based on Apache Ant
> Ant is already integrated into NetBeans. But now, even you projects will be
>handled by Ant.
>> * Refactoring. No more need to install an external module (refactorit,
>jrefactor). Refactoring will be supported by standard.
>> * Support for J2EE 1.4 & bundled Tomcat 5
>> * JDK 1.5 Support
>> * Outline View ==> Personnaly, I have no idea what does it means as new
>feature.
>> * TaskList ==> As netbeans user, I know the features of the tasklist module.
>But who know his features, if never used netbeans ?
>> * Unit Testing with JUnit ==> Same remark as for refactoring. No more need to
>install an external module. Supported by standard.
>> * Editor Enhancements: Error scrollbar marking ???
>> * Editor Enhancements: Smart Templates
>> * Editor Enhancements: Autogeneration of JavaDoc
>> * Editor Enhancements: Automated Imports Management ==> No more need to use
>keyboard shortcut or whatever. Really automated.
>> * Editor Enhancements: Surround Code, Smart Select
>> * Full keyboard-only use ==> Will permits to people having problem to handle
>the mouse to be able to use use netbeans.
>> * Help system based on JavaHelp 2.0
>> * Ability to configure External Tools ==> As netbeans user, I really have no
>idea of what does it means.
>
>Not obvious to understand at a glance all the new features, if you are not a
>netbeans users.
>
>Maybe, for the next time, send the article to nbmarketing to have a review.
>
>Just a proposal.
>
>
>P.S Just a question: Do you know how much people that read my java.net weblogs
>are coming to the netbeans site ?
>How can I see that ?
