I didn't actually watch the recent Oracle/Sun webcast yet about our current and future collaboration around promoting Java, but this Internet News article reports that Larry Ellison clarified a presumably off-the-cuff comment made by Scott McNealy regarding Oracle and NetBeans: Pointing out that Oracle has its own Java development tool, JDeveloper and is involved with Eclipse, he said, "We think the NetBeans initiative is important in the marketplace, and we're watching it very closely. Right now, we're focused on JDeveloper and Eclipse." Why not try out both and make your own conclusion! They're both free, but only JDeveloper comes with full support for the end-to-end enterprise application development lifecycle under all under one "roof" catering equally well to both expert Java developers and corporate developers familiar with previous 4GL tools. 9:41:55 AM     IETab Extension I agree with Tom Kyte that the IETab extension for Firefox is awesome. I haven't started up the IE browser itself since I've installed it. You can mark certain pages to always be rendered with the IE rendering engine. Slick stuff. 9:23:29 AM     JDJ Reader's Choice Awards: ADF Business Components Voted Best Java Component ADF Business Components was voted the Best Java Component in the JDJ Reader's Choice awards. cool. 9:22:14 AM     Zero Bug Milestone on the Way to JDeveloper 10.1.3 Production We've hit the zero bug point for JDeveloper 10.1.3 production. This doesn't mean it's ready yet for OTN, but is a major milestone for our team. A final "deep" round of testing needs to give one last pass through all the features for good measure... 9:21:22 AM     Great Read on History of Prime Numbers If you studied math in school like I did, especially if you liked Number Theory, you might enjoy this book that I read over the holidays: The Music of the Primes, by Marcus du Sautoy. 9:20:40 AM     How Not to Stab Yourself with a Pencil in the Face Sorry for not posting as frequently as normal in the last few weeks. With a little vacation and a lot of pressure to get deliverables for the 10.1.3 production release done, there hasn't been much time to come up for air. Or to sleep for that matter :-(  The other day plugging my daughters' computer back in behind their desk, I bent down and managed to plant my tired cheek into the tip of a pencil sticking point-up in a coffee can on their desk. Ouch. 9:19:45 AM     © Copyright 2008 Steve Muench.
