Java CAPS 6 Early Access Documentation Comes to SDN

Monday Apr 28, 2008

The Sun Java CAPS 6 Early Access Site went live on April 25, 2008 at ~6 pm, Pacific, on the Sun Developer Network ("SDN")

All of the early access documentation is now available, outside of the SWAN. You can chack it out at The Java CAPS Documentation tab on SDN.

When Java CAPS 6 goes RR, our topic-based documentation and guides will be available on http://docs.sun.com as well, with both html and pdf downloads.

We are delivering on our strategy for Java CAPS 6 docs--

  • Making product documentation more accessible to our users

  • Transitioning from books to topics

  • Transitioning from non-structured to structured authoring, allowing us to create different outputs for the web and reuse content

  • Developing a way for the community to provide targeted feedback-- there are feedback buttons on each page. We are continuing to work with IPG and other Sun teams to integrate a more inter-active feedback tool.

Give Us Your Feedback

We would like to know what you are thinking. Tell what you like. Tell us what you would change. Tell us how to make the experience better for the customer. We know that there are still a lot of gaps and errors. Use the feedback button on the bottom of the page to submit your comments. This will help us test the feedback system as well.

This project has been a huge effort. Thanks to--

Carla King (SDN Managing Editor), Cathy Arima (.sun.com Production), Steve Cogorno (IPG Engineer), Jeff Ramsey (IPG Media Design), Michael Quillman (IPG Media Design), Jeff Gardiner's IPG Production team who helped with our doc conversions (Suzy Haines, Jennifer Ofiana and Ron Morton).
