Check Out The New NetBeans Plugin Portal!

I can finally tell you what I've been working on for the past 5 months!  We reworked the netbeans.org "Plugins" tab from the ground up into the New NetBeans Plugin Portal.  


New Plugin Portal

And I did it all with Sun Tools and Technology!

Here are some highlights of the things you can now do with the NetBeans Plugin Portal.

  • Add your own plugins with a netbeans.org userid.
  • Comment on plugins
  • Rate plugins
  • Add the Plugin Portal as an Update Center to your NetBeans IDE.


Stay tuned!  I'll be blogging about my experience frequently giving lots of information.  I'll be giving out some of this information at my BOF (session id 9055) at JavaOne.

I'm looking forward to sharing the details!

I'm Still Alive! Getting Ready for JavaOne...

Yes I'm still alive!  I've been working feverishly on a project since about last November and I can almost talk about it.  Many of you have already seen it (Hint: the paragraph below).  Anyway, hopefully very very soon I'll be able to open up the bloggate (my new word!) and share my experiences with everyone.

Also, my BOF (Birds-Of-A-Feather) session for JavaOne has been accepted.  The title is, "Developing a Real-World Web Application with NetBeans Release 5.5 Visual Web Pack" and the session ID is BOF-9055.  I'm currently scheduled for Tuesday, May 8, 8-8:50PM in Gateway 104.  There are lots of good BOFs in that same time slot but please show up if you can.
