Jirka Kovalsky(Technical Community Manager) just announced the winners of the NetBeans Innovators Grants. I tried some of the projects. Some of the ideas seems were interesting. Congratulation to all the winners! Well deserved money!
I'm glad to see my friend Karel Herink that used to work on NetBeans Mobility project in the list of winners. His support for Project Darkstar in Mobility moves game development in Java ME in new direction. It is pity that you haven't won a Golden or Silver award, Karel. Maybe you didn't solved the idea very well? I'd like to be interested if you used it in a real game?
My attention took CashForward and Cube°n. NetBeans' as financial software, interesting. And Anuradha's tasks integration. There might be a place for enhancement. It should work with the NetBeans issuezilla. Unfortunately, there isn't any easy access to the bug database :(
Hey lukas ,
Jan Horvath agree with me to do issuezilla integration.What Do you think Are you interest in integration? if so drop Me mail at theanuradha@gmail.com

Anuradha, thanks for offer however I have my own Friday project ;) - http://wiki.netbeans.org/ThreadDumpAnalyzeVizualizer
But I'm really interested in this project. I'll watch it on the google code. I'll let you know my opinions about it later when I'll try it.

hi lukasi,
i think i did what i set out to do, it was lots of code for a small project - in the end i think the decision regarding the awards was correct, only one small project got an award (the SQL editor) and it will be much more popular plugin than my darkstar support. darkstar is useful to a very small section of developers while nearly everyone can use a good SQL editor.
