We occasionally get JSR 296 (SAF) questions here on cljp.  For you older 
hands, I thought I'd point out that NetBeans 7.1 has finally removed 
support for SAF.  Their wizard for "Java Desktop" is gone, and it was 
done on purpose.  Only the regular "Java" platform remains in the New 
Project wizard.

So if anyone shows up with an older version of NetBeans and has a 
question, we can tell them that all support has been pulled and everyone 
finally agrees JSR 296 has bit it.

JSR 296 has ceased to be, expired and gone to meet its maker, it's a 
stiff, bereft of life, rests in peace, if you hadn't nailed it to the 
perch it'd be pushing up the daisies, its metabolic processes are now 
'istory, it's off the twig, kicked the bucket, shuffled off 'is mortal 
coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible.

This is an ex-parrot.
