Bonjour, comment Java?

GlassFish V3 Prelude development is in full speed. Yesterday, I was happily surprised by the ease of use of the GlassFish Update Center... For some reasons (installing iTunes 8.0 and QuickTime), I had to reboot my MacBookPro, and on reboot, I noticed a nice "Update Tool Notifier" on my desktop:

Woa...Nice...So I clicked on it, (expecting for a failure as GlassFish V3 Prelude is still under development), and the GlassFish Update Center tool showed up:

After 30 seconds of download and installation time, I was ready to play with the latest GlassFish V3 Prelude bits...This was a very pleasant experience...
Good job Update Tool team!

That is good, but I can't help think that whoever designed it did so on a Mac and never thought about Windows; it looks aweful! I'd love to jump in and update it... but sadly I don't have the time.

funny, glassfish has a better update center than NetBeans ;-) But I am not sure about its usefulness, you usually deploy everything necessary and never touch the server again until you have to..
