Don't mean to lower your hopes, guys, but last week we had another round of layoffs in NetBeans. 6 people were fired for (cca. 10% of the NB staffing) among them the owner of the maven support. In addition to that almost whole QE was reassigned to ADF testing. But officially NB is not being dropped yet.
Regarding VisualVM - there was supposed to be a decision about the co- existence of VisualVM and JRockit MissionControl. So far there is none - but it might change after September 1st, when the Prague offices (that's where NB and VisualVM teams are) are LECed. And now, go figure :) Regards, JB On Aug 17, 11:59 pm, Kirk <[email protected]> wrote: > I visited the NetBeans profiling guys in Prague in June.
