Abstract:

This talk will cover Sun's latest developer tools including NetBeans 6 and Glassfish Version 2 showing end-to-end open-source Java development.  NetBeans provides all the tools software developers need to create cross-platform Java desktop, enterprise and web applications. It runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS, as well as Solaris. It is easy to install and use, works right out of the box -- and it is open-source and free!  The GlassFish community is building free, open source, production-quality, enterprise software. The main deliverables are an Application Server, the Java EE 5 Reference Implementation, and the Java Persistence API Reference Implementation, TopLink Essentials.
