Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Using JDK 5 language features in Creator
As you're probably well aware of, there were several important releases this week. First, NetBeans 5.5 was
released. This has been covered extensively by other Sun bloggers
so I won't repeat the highlights here - just check it out if you haven't already.
Second, a number of add-on packs for NetBeans 5.5 were released. A pack is a cluster of plugins.
One of these is the
Visual Web Pack, which basically bundles all the visual web page design functionality from Creator into NetBeans. With this, you can create pages Creator style alongside other NetBeans features, such as the profiler, or the UML tool, or the enterprise XML support.
There's another big reason why even Creator users should try the visual web pack (which is in technology preview state, not a final release like NetBeans 5.5.).

The reason for this is that NetBeans is only bundled with the Tomcat web container, and Tomcat is not adequate for Java EE 5 projects. Thus, the trick is to also download a Java EE 5 capable app server such as Glassfish or its cousin, the Sun Application Server. Once you'v...
