Gosling Gets Goosebumps--over Java ME Technology

Here's an eWeek article on how Sun has released new revs of NetBeans and GlassFish. Of course with NetBeans, you get the Mobility Pack which lets you develop software for Java ME technology-enabled cell phones. This, apparently, gets James Gosling all goose-pimply.

See:

James Gosling Gets Goosebumps over Java ME
(NOTE: Skip the annoying ad)

Here's a quote: 

 "You can even develop on 
 your cell phone and debug 
 it," Leonard said of 
 NetBeans. Gosling added, 
 "I still get goose bumps 
 when I see somebody set a 
 breakpoint on a cell 
 phone."
Rightly so! It's a cool thing to see someone using the NetBeans debugger on their Java ME wireless device. Makes it so much nicer when there's a null pointer exception that needs squashing. ...not saying that you would actually write a bug like that, but hypothetically if someone did write buggy software, it would come in handy. :-)
