JavaOne Has Not Started Yet

I never expected the weather in San Francisco to be so nice and warm at this time of year. But it has been a beautiful blue-sky day. I spent some time acting like a tourist; it's been years and years since I got to do that in this city. I took the photo while hanging from a cable car. It was stopped at Lombard Street - you can see Coit Tower off in the distance. The guy sitting next to me on the cable car had a JavaPolis backpack. That's pretty much a dead giveaway and when I asked him he confirmed that he was in town for JavaOne.

Before I set out on my ride, I ran into Michael Kölling and Ian Utting of the BlueJ project. Like a lot of folks, they got to San Francisco early so that they could attend NetBeans Day San Francisco. If you have not registered yet, I have bad news: registration is closed. We are over-subscribed. Next year we will get a bigger room.

Anyway, back to Michael and Ian. They have been working with the NetBeans team on adding support to the NetBeans IDE for projects that were created in BlueJ. The beta has recently been made available here.
