Comments on: The Java Store – Project Vector http://www.tmro.net/2009/05/the-java-store-project-vector/ Mobilise your business Sat, 14 Jan 2012 06:55:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul http://www.tmro.net/2009/05/the-java-store-project-vector/comment-page-1/#comment-80 Paul Tue, 26 May 2009 07:32:11 +0000 http://www.blog.tmro.net/?p=104#comment-80 It's understandable that Sun talk about NetBeans a lot. It's their in-house IDE product, so it's natural that new technologies they develop are tried out there first. It's a good IDE. However I am sure they are well aware that other IDEs (specifically Eclipse) are more popular. I doubt that they would try to tie the Java Appstore so closely to NetBeans. It would be counterproductive to the goal of making the store a success. It’s understandable that Sun talk about NetBeans a lot.

He did say "simple website" indeed. It is not even an assumption, just a fear... <br />What I wanted to say is that should Netbeans become a must have tool then that will be a problem. At the moment I don't think there has been an announcement regarding Netbeans and it is my hope that there never will be... <br />I only brought up Netbeans because I have attended one too many Sun events where everything they talk about has to somehow point out Netbeans.<br />Let's just hope I am wrong...

He said "submitted via a simple website".<br /><br />The "billions" is not referring to Windows. He'll be talking about all the Java-enabled mobile phones here.<br /><br />I agree with you about the bidding for placement thing though. That sounds a bit dodgy. However I would imagine there'll also be listings for 'most downloded', highest rated' etc. Where did you get the NetBeans assumption from? He said “submitted via a simple website”.
