Introducing Sun Web Developer Pack

Sun Web
Developer Pack (SWDP) is a new integrated toolkit from Sun
Microsystems that consists of a collection of Web 2.0 technologies
that enable next generation Web application development. The toolkit
consists of binaries, tutorial, documentation, samples (including source) to
build your Web 2.0 applications and deploy them on industry-grade containers. It includes
support for building rich user interface using Ajax technologies with Project
jMaki & Project
Dynamic Faces, light-weight Web services with Atom

APIs / WADL and server side
scripting with Project Phobos.

These applications can be hosted on Sun Java System Application Server 9.x, Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 U1, GlassFish v1 UR1, GlassFish v2 and Apache Tomcat 6. SWDP comes with NetBeans plug-ins that simplifies the design and development of Rich Internet Applications.

Call it a fever, frenzy or craze but this once-in-4-year event completely changes India and it's people. Cricket is not just a game, it's a religion in India. The 2007 ICC World Cup was inaugurated over the weekend and matches are scheduled from Mar 13 to April 28, 2007. West Indies being the host who better than Sir Garry Sobers to declare the world cup open.
The 16 participating countries (South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Scotland, Netherlands, Iceland, Canada, and Bermuda) are divided into 4 groups (Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group D). In each group, each country will play with rest of the countries. A Win is 2 points, a Tie is 1 point and a Loss is 0 point. Two winners from each group will then move to "Super 8" where again each country will play against each other from which 4 semi-finalists are decided. And then finalist and finally the winner.
India won the 1983
World Cup and were runners up in 2003. The complete
team profile is a good mix of medium pace
bowlers, spinners,
strong opening
batsman, reliable top
& middle
order and hitting low
orders. May the best team win and I wish, and hope, India is the best team
this time
