One of the frustrations of updating to a new version of NetBeans (e.g. from 6M10 to 6B1) is having to recreate all my libraries again. On projects that use a lot of libraries this can be very time consuming. The solution to having to recreate all the libraries when upgrading to a new version of NB however is detailed here . Basically, each library is described by an XML file which you can copy from one installation directory to another. Simple !

Glassfish v2 and NetBeans 6 beta 2 are due out today. Many people are blogging about the new features of Glassfish v2, so The Aquarium has a roundup of all the news stories and technical blogs covering the launch. NetBeans has had several false starts over the last week or so with people finding beta 1 for download (and then finding out that its not the final beta 1). However, the final release is expected today, so please be patient, both products should be along shortly.

NetBeans 6.0 Beta 1 and GlassFish v2 have now been released. According to Ludovic Champenois , GlassFish v2 is bundled as part of NetBeans 6.0 Beta 1, so there is probably only one download needed. The final release of NetBeans 6.0 is expected towards the end of November 2007.

I’ve listed below some of the more common uses of the Glassfish asadmin command.

September 17th looks like its going to be a good day. According to this post by Roman Strobal on the NBUsers mailing list, thats the day for the first beta of NetBeans 6. I’ve been using the daily builds for NetBeans 6 for a while now and they seem stable for the most part, but I still get the occasional error, so I’m looking forward to trying out beta 1. Also, according to this post at the Aquarium , September 17th is the day that Glassfish v2 will be released. I’m not expecting much to be different in this release of Glassfish from the previous betas, but its good to get the final release out. Two new pieces of software in one day – excellent.
