A Perfect Storm Brewing

I'm not a developer. (Nor do I play one on TV.) I'm the Software Business Guy. That said, I'm always looking for the most technical and leading edge Alpha Geeks. My offer: free preview access to our next generation of tools and application services software. All I'm looking for is your critical feedback. Take it for a spin, kick the tires, see what it can do...or can't. Then tell us.

Today, we are releasing the beta versions of our next generation app. server, the Java EE 5 SDK and the developer preview of the NetBeans Enterprise pack 5.5. For the first time we are releasing a preview of both the platform and tools simultaneously. And for the first time, both have been developed with contributions from open source.

I'm confident you'll like what you see. We're shooting for increased ease-of-development and functionality. But this is a preview; I certainly won't presume we're perfect or done. So, no need to be shy with your comments (like you would anyway). Tell us.—Tell the community—the good, the bad and the ugly.

We know people have been talking about Java EE 5 for quite a while. We have it in beta. Now. Which means you have it. Now.
