Final Countdown to JDeveloper 10g Preview

As mentioned here, things are looking good for a release of the JDeveloper 10g preview in time for OracleWorld in the second week of September. I get a general sense that things are on track for this. We're in bug fix approval mode at the moment, meaning management must approve all fixes before they're checked in. Historically, entering this mode has been a good indicator that the final countdown has started.

Over the last week, a group of expert testing sessions were held both here in Reading, UK and at HQ in Redwood Shores, CA. The feedback has been, on the whole, quite positive.

It was great to meet some of our customers at the UK session. Undettered by the distinctly un-British hot weather and broken airconditioning at the start of the week, they bashed the heck out of a couple of early pre-preview release builds. Several of them were Oracle SCM and CVS users, and they had many interesting things to say (both about things they liked, and things they'd like to see improved).
