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...

Poll Result: Quick Adoption for NetBeans IDE 6.8
The latest java.net poll suggests that NetBeans users are moving quickly to the new NetBeans IDE 6.8 release. This poll was interrupted by the recent java.net outage, so the earliest votes were not counted (unless the people revisited the poll after the outage and voted again). A total of 318 votes were cast after the poll was reopened. The final pattern of voting was close to the pattern before the outage (with the exception noted below), so I think the truncated results are fairly representative of all the voting that occured.
Here's the exact question and the final results:
Do you plan to upgrade to NetBeans IDE 6.8?
49% (156 votes) - I already have
11% (35 votes) - Yes, soon
7% (22 votes) - Probably, once I know it's stable
2% (5 votes) - I'll stick with my current NetBeans version
31% (99 votes) - No, I use another IDE
~0% (1 vote) - I don't know; other
The main difference between the voting before the outage (as I remember it) and the final post-outage tally, is that more people selected the "I already have" upgraded to NetBeans IDE 6.8 option, and fewer selected "Yes, soon," in the post-outage voting. In other words, a swath of people who were going to upgrade to 6.8 soon actually did the upgrade by the time the poll resumed.
Looking just at the NetBeans users who participated in the poll (69% of the total vote), 87% of NetBeans users have already upgraded to 6.8 or will do so soon; another ...
