As Dave already blogged: "The Sun Web Developer Pack (SWDP) finally uncloaked today". In addition to the items Dave mentioned I'd also like to point out that the pack contains prebuilt binaries of some WADL tools and an early access API and runtime for development of RESTful Web services.
I blogged earlier about JSR 311, I expect the API produced by JSR 311 will differ significantly to the RESTful WS API in SWDP R1 but the experience we gained building it and the runtime to support it has been very useful for testing some of our early assumptions and clarifying our thinking about the JSR. We hope you'll take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
Google WADL Tools

Thomas Steiner has announced plans for a couple of tools to simplify RESTful development based around WADL. Tentatively titled "Google REST Compile" and "Google REST Describe", the first will read a WADL description and output client code for a variety of programming languages whilst the second will aid in producing a WADL file from an existing textual description. I'm delighted to see others picking up on WADL and hope the project goes well.
