Here is another big project you can participate in. You have probably heard about Wordpress. Wordpress is a content management system usually used for blogs. This site is one of many sites using Wordpress today. This is from Wordpress’ own introduction:
WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.

Is NetBeans really the only IDE you need? Or is Eclipse a competitor? Maybe MyEclipse (Eclipse with added plugins) is the way to go? And there is probably several other IDEs aswell! Which one do you use, and why?
Both NetBeans and Eclipse are free to use, while MyEclipse you pay a small yearly fee to use. Is it worth the cost of paying the MyEclipse fee? MyEclipse do come with a 30-day free trial, so I guess it’s a good idea to try it aswell.
If found an Eclipse review at rollerweblogger.org , check it out for more information about Eclipse. If you have used, or currently use, any of these or other IDEs – please feel free to leave a comment! Would love to hear your thoughts about what IDE to choose.

He has used it for programming Java. I downloaded the current beta version (6.7 Beta), and will try to contribute by submitting bugs I might find during my use of NetBeans.
