Tim Bray is talking about IDEs and their Projects.
He is definitely right about how project subsystems can be a pain in the arse. It would be really cool to have a project subsystem standard API which could be used in all IDEs…. and could be a bad lowest common denominator? ;)
The system could be based on Ant, or something more abstract (so you could use Maven or Ant or Anything else).
Mostly, I was surprised that Tim uses NetBeans. Do you have to if you work for Sun?

gah, I’m trying out Eclipse and feeling the pain of setting up projects there… it’s just counter-intuitive, especially if you’re used to the niceties of IDEA.
