So the excitement around the launch is palatable.
The engineers are totally jazzed.
NetBeans 4.0!
Everybody's excited.
Why?
Let me count the ways.
1. The first free open source IDE to support J2SE 5.0. Tiger, Tiger burning bright.
2. Tomcat built right in. So if Tiger didn't get your heart racing, Tomcat will.
3. First IDE based entirely on Apache Ant.
4. It's in there: expanded support for J2EE, J2ME. That means you could debug code on your phone, people. (Caution: Debuging on your phone could be considered geek-a-zoid behavior.)
Party's getting started, everybody. Big Release/Holiday party.
I've got the camera.
Gotta go.
