NetBeans 5.0 has shipped! You've probably heard this news - its everywhere! NetBeans 5.0 and the NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.0 are now available. See http://www.netbeans.org for download info.

I haven't said on this blog what I actually do at Sun, but it may be worth mentioning - I'm the director for Java Studio Creator and NetBeans Mobility Pack. So, as you might guess, I'm having a really happy new year! Its a pretty happy life anyway working with these great teams, but shipping two great products in as many weeks is pretty special.

We're going to celebrate with the Creator and Netbeans teams a bit today and then I'm playing a gig tonight with my band Jammin' Salmon at the Prince of Wales Pub in San Mateo, CA. Hurt me with too much fun!

Java Studio Creator 2 is released! After a very successful early access program, we're very happy to announce the availability of Sun Java Studio Creator 2. You can find out about all the great new features (and how to download Creator for FREE) at the Creator web site . There's lots of great info there, but I will point out here that this version of Creator has some great AJAX enabled components available and is being featured currently on Sun's SDN Channel .

Congratulations to the entire Creator team and thank you to all the folks who participated in our early access program.
