JavaRanch has been named as a Jolt finalist by Software Development Magazine!

For those who missed it, we have added a few new forums. Forums for security and testing have been added to the "Engineering" section. Forums for ANT and Resin have been added to the "Products" section.

Hey, we've added a Tack Room. No one should be out on the range without their vital JavaRanch supplies. T-shirts, caps, lunch bags, and mugs will keep you ready whether you are out on a cattle drive or just dropping in to the saloon.

This month's special item is the JavaRanch Official Teddy Bear. Show them you care with the JavaRanch Teddy Bear!

As always JavaRanch is dedicated to providing you with the best source of information on Java Programming and Engineering.
