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: OpenJDK, GlassFish Considered the Most Important java.net Projects
This past week's java.net poll indicates that two of the biggest java.net projects, OpenJDK and GlassFish, are considered most important among all java.net projects, as we head into the future. A total of 416 votes were cast. The exact question and results were:
What's the most important java.net project going forward?
