Agraj Mangal, Sun Campus Ambassador at University of Delhi, India, had a submission of how to send email using Java. He used NetBeans 6.1 to write a simple Java program that sends an email using the owner's email account details. This functionality can also be embedded in a web application. Agraj had put together a nice tutorial with code snippets and lots of helpful NetBeans 6.1 screenshots as he was developing the application.

Wasif Tanveer from University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, Pakistan, detailed the specific NetBeans 6.1 functionalities that he liked most, especially from a mobile application developer perspective. The default heap size wasn't sufficient for a huge data file that he was reading in his application, but he resolved this issue by using dynamic heap size argument -Xmx512M. Check out Wasif's review here.

Chris Leong from University of Sydney, Australia, observed that various great features of NetBeans (deservingly) gets a lot of attention but there are simple things that considerably increases user's productivity. Chris focused on the NetBeans Editor itself as he felt that there are features in the editor that not only increase productivity individually but also make a huge difference collectively. Chris is a Sun Campus Ambassador, and his review in a nice story telling format is here.

Alper Celik, Sun Campus Ambassador at The Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, noted the performance improvement in NetBeans 6.1 as well as some of its key features. Being a good ambassador, he didn't forget to prominently include the "call to action" of downloading NetBeans 6.1 and trying it out to his fellow student developers. :-)
