-WELCOME- to the Java Developer Connection(sm) (JDC) Newsletter, 
covering Early Access software releases, new products, developer 
programs, and more.

- We've made some improvements: Based on your feedback to a recent
  survey, we've made the following improvements to the 
  JDC Newsletter:

  -- Provided summaries of the articles and tutorials listed under
     "New on the JDC."
  -- Added a section titled "Did you Know?," that highlights a
     service provided by the JDC. Each month we'll highlight
     a different service. In this month's issue, we highlight 
     "Question of the Week."   
  -- Made the summaries of product news items more concise. 
  
  Watch for additional improvements in the coming months.
