Netbeans 5.5 (beta) and other new software

- Netbeans 5.5 beta (build 200605090801)
- Netbeans 5.5 Enterprise Pack
- Netbeans 5.5 Subversion Plugin (installed via Update Center)
- Java Studio Creator 2 (Update 1)
- Java EE 5 SDK: includes Sun Java App Server (SJAS) 9 plus Derby and other goodies
So, if you're itching for Subversion support in Netbeans, give the 5.5 beta a try and help the Netbeans guys out providing feedback on the mailing lists and issue tracker.
The JavaOne general session demos last week (e.g. the build-a-blog-server in 5 minute demo) seemed to show an extremely fast build-deploy-test loop. So next, I'm going to try to switch to SJAS9 + Derby for development and debugging and see how it compares to working with Tomcat / MySQL. Last time I tried SJAS (version 8) for development, I found it to be a little too heavy for my tastes.
