I think at least Sun now owes us a fast update on what we are going to do
with our production deployments based upon Woodstock.
Will there continue to be a visuall web framework for Netbeans? Do we need
to switch to Icefaces, Quipukit, Infragistics or some other framework?
We cannot wait another 2 months, really!
