Acknowledgments for the First Edition


Patrick Keegan

First of all, I'd like to thank everybody who made my participation in this book possible, especially David Lindt, my manager, and John Jullion-Ceccarelli, who assumed many of my lead duties and still managed to make enormous content contributions to the NetBeans IDE 4.1 release. The book itself would not have been possible without the support of Tim Cramer and efforts of Larry Baron, who pulled together the resources to make it happen. Thank you to everybody who so enthusiastically supported the book with a combination of small contributions, reviews, suggestions, and moral support. In particular, I would like to cite Vincent Brabant and David Coldrick.

Other people whose insight and sharp eyes greatly added to the quality of the book: Gregg Sporar, Geertjan Wielenga, Marian Petras, Maros Sandor, Karel Zikmund, Lubomir Cincura, David Konecny, Roman Strobl, Milan Kubec, Jiri Prazak, and Adam Sotona. On the editorial and production side, thanks to Greg Doench, Tyrrell Albaugh, and Kathy Simpson for their guidance and flexibility. Last and possibly most, I'd like to thank Tim Boudreau, who goaded me into taking on this project.

Ludovic Champenois

First and foremost, my special thanks and love to my familyVannina, my wife, and Elio, Flora, Lucas, Bianca, my four childrenfor supporting me during the last year. Bianca still believes Java is an island like Corsica, and she is right! Vannina reviewed parts of the book, and while having no knowledge at all of the domain, she gave me precious feedback: Keep it simple stupid! I love you. Love to Gaspard and Stan: Je pense à vous si souvent.

This book is about NetBeans, and NetBeans is a fantastic communitythe people in Prague, the people in the U.S., many people from Sun Microsystems... Jesse Glick, who trained me on the internals of NetBeans, back in 1999, and Jeet Kaul and Jeff Jackson, who helped me tremendously in my quest to move J2EE support from Sun Studio products to the open source world. My thanks to the engineers from StudioNam Nnguyen, Rico Cruz, and Chris Websterwho changed their focus and invested all their time on the success of NetBeans IDE 4.1. Along with the engineers from the Sun Application Server organizationVince Kraemer, Peter Williams, Nitya Doraisamy, Rajeshwar Patil, and Anil Gaurthey did most of the foundation work. Thanks, this was incredible cross-organizational teamwork! The foundation is finally there; let's have some rest before J2EE 5.0.
