Well, "making NetBeans the best IDE for JSE, JEE, JME and JavaFX" doesn't seem to be pushed to the web corner too much ;-) What NetBeans is losing focus about is JRuby and support for other dynamic languages; but the IDE stays open and if those communities are vibrant, they can provide and support their own plugins. > > It seems that the only huge product being killed so far is > the planned Sun cloud > (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/28/ > sun_amazon_cloud_dead/). ... which unfortunately is also pulling Kenai into the void :-( I'll have to spend a few hours in moving all my stuff. Fortunately I've moved to Mercurial and the repos are really not a problem.
