In the webcast Tedd Farrell said that the following (http:// oracle.com.edgesuite.net/ivt/4000/8104/9236/12627/ lobby_external_flash_clean_480x360/default.htm - watch out, this sucker re-sizes your browser): At 11:55: "Internally we'll basically be focusing the Netbeans development team on Java. We really want to make it the best, you know, Java IDE for the Java platform." At 12:25: "What we really like to see is turn to the community for some of the external and non-Java core things, like, you know, some of the dynamic languages, like you know, Python, JPython, or Perl, PHP, some third-party plug-ins. We really want to invest more infrastructure and resources into the community and really build up the community around those languages products. And really, you know, just provide the best combination of both of these worlds to the end user in the Netbeans IDE and the Netbeans platform." I read this statement in that Oracle wants to dump the dynamic languages to the community if they are under Sun's umbrella today, but get them off the ground first (maybe with project hosting). This at odds with the slides, unless you take the "invest into the community" part as a "increased focus". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
