Sun Java products pricelist

[feedscrn]

Hi All,

I have been looking around in the Sun website and found two
interesting products:

Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/index.jsp

Sun NetBeans at http://www.netbeans.org/

------------------

Is there a pricing site/page for the above? I can't seem to
find prices for these products. I also cannot seem to find any postings
saying that they are free....

Help.


Thank You, Feedscrn

Go through the download process, and read the license documents.
If you find the license terms acceptable (many do), then you can
use the products. Note that Sun has lately also released some other
Java developer tools for free (under certain conditions):

Well, you have one now.

They're free!

Though there are "some" restrictions on *re-distribution* of parts of them,
which *should* be mentioned in the attached Licence Agreement.

Thank you for the information. Just to confirm- For these two
products:

Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/index.jsp

Sun NetBeans at http://www.netbeans.org/

........I would be more comfortable if I saw this on a Sun web page
somewhere, if possible. Any further help would be much appreciated.

Just go to the sun website, download them, read the liscence if it makes you
feel better, and then start using them.

There are many Java programmers in this forum. If there were some caveat,
it would have been mentioned

http://java.sun.com *is* the Sun webpage. It's a subdomain.

When you download java, you have the option to download netbeans with it.
Not only is netbeans free, the source is also free. (You can download the
source, compile it yourself, edit it if you want, etc.)

Trust me - if they weren't free, you wouldn't be able to click "download"
from their website and download it without any mention of how to buy it.
