Winners of the Developer.com Product of the Year 2009 are Announced
Developer.com’s 2009 Product of the Year were announced with Sun receiving 1st place in 9 out of 12 categories, along with 2 additional finalist positions.
Rosemarie Graham notes, "Not only were more votes received than in the last two years, but there was also a clear margin of victory between first and second place. Each winner won its category with a respectable margin. In the case of Java Tools the winner had almost three times the votes of the others finalists in the category combined."
NetBeans had 5 top honors, with MySQL Workbench grabbing 1st place for DB Tools and two more top place finishes for Open Source and Security.
