SnipSnap is Java-based weblog and wiki software, it is currently licensed under the GPL but may go commercial at some point. The architecture and weblog-wiki synthesis looks interesting.

Cafe au Lait summarizes the new feature list as follows: 

    * Pop-up Javadoc documentation
    * Live parsing and error marking
    * Drag and drop support (JDK 1.4.1 only on Windows)
    * Close buttons on tabs
Also: support for Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 is now built-in. Unfortunately, the GUI builder still lacks support for two-way-editing.

The solution, according to [Sun Chief Engineer] Gingell, is simple. "Despite popular belief, our business has always been about solving customer problems by building solutions on top of fairly standard things and just doing a better job of it than our competitors. SPARC is an IEEE standard. Unix isn't substantially different from one version to the next. We just did it better and faster than anybody else. When it comes to Java, there's no reason we can't do the same." [ZDNet: Sun bets its future on Java]
