Of course most people copy and paste that field as browsers allow them to do it. Bad practice, but makes that useless for really helping many folks. Not really hard to implement however, and can use client side and server side checks. I of course wouldn't be the one editing the web page, so I can't give any definitives to you. If you think it is something really needed you can file an issue at:
http://www.netbeans.org/community/issues

as an ENHANCEMENT as it really isn't a DEFECT. The component will be www.

Subject: [webteam] A issue while registering a new user(don't know if exactly an issue, thats why emailing the mailing list)

Hi All,

I found an annoying issue while i registered as a new user in the netbeans.org website. 

I registered as a new user, with a login name and email., the password was to be sent to my email address. Now, i did not recieve the link for creating the password, and i was wondering why, then i discovered that i had a typo while entering the email address.

So i never got the link for creating a new password. I felt this annoying, and it would have been better, if there were two fields 

Email Address:
Retype Email-Address

This is just an added verification, and would save some time. 

Just a thought.

Thanks

Balaji R
