Isn't community what really matters in the 'participation age'?

    +1 Sun execs need to wake up

    Sun seems to refuse to work with any community at the development level... their execs seem to have either 1) no clue what happens in reality or 2) no qualms about saying Sun is "all about open source"... name 1 Sun sponsored open source project that other companies/developers are actually contributing to.

    Take OpenSolaris ... the SCM system is inside Sun - only like 5 Solaris fanboys contribute - mostly by emailing with their Sun frieds and they absolutely don't touch on the Solaris architecture... how is that "participation"... why not just participate in the Linux community like everyone else???

    1. Eclipse is more commonly used than NetBeans.

    2. Both Eclipse and JBoss are open source.

    3. JBoss provides a plugin for Eclipse; JBoss IDE for Eclipse.

    Packaging JBoss with NetBeans limits the choice of Java IDEs.
