Groovy News: Sun Throws Woodstock

Project Woodstock from Sun Microsystems arrives as a new open source project for developing enterprise-level web applications. The legendary '69 concert isn't being reprised again in Upstate New York. Too bad, really; Sun's CEO Jonathan Schwartz has the right hair for the rock stage. Of course we don't know anything about his musicianship. The only musical thing he might be able to play could be an iPod. Sun's called Woodstock a "project that provides an extensive set of JavaServer Faces (JSF) components for web application developers":

The Project Woodstock components also contain design time code to enable their use in NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5 for easy web application development via dragging and dropping components onto a layout page, allowing the developer to visually organize their application as they build it. Project Woodstock components range from navigation (Tree, Tab, Breadcrumb) to selectors (ListBox, AddRemove) to date management (Calendar, Scheduler) to a Masthead (with Alarm and Job Status notification) to a Wizard and also a very extensible Table (with sorting, filtering and easy data connection setup).
