Oracle & NetBeans
Here’s a slide from the (currently ongoing) webcast about the Oracle - Sun Merger:
Good News, whatever it means in detail. I like the mention of Java EE6. I don’t know though why Hudson is mentioned as a NB technology. Probably because the integration is so excellent that they thought it’s a part of the IDE ;-).
I think their mention of Hudson was basically a statement that they see something valuable there that they don’t have in their own stack. They also talked about Hudson integration with JDeveloper, right? As their actual developers take a look at Hudson, they’ll likely discover its broader capabilities.

@Kevin: You’re probably right, they know exactly what they own now… This becomes especially clear when you watch Ted Farrell’s webcast. My impression is that they know better what NetBeans is good at/for than Sun did, which is very good news…

Very understandable news. NetBeans was best at the things it mentions, while Eclipse has very wide old-school users and also at enterprises. JDeveloper is a hole, where Oracle threw lots of money, so they won’t just throw it away, although IDE is a plain sh*t.
