vSphere 4 support is here with VI Java API beta 3

The same day a year ago, I released the first version of VI Java API(http://vijava.sf.net). It's been downloaded for 2,300+ copies (not including VMware internal downloads) and used widely since then.

Today, I am pleased to announce another important milestone -- the vSphere 4 support with VI Java 2 Beta 3 ( With the name change of VI to vSphere, should we change the API to vSphere Java API as well?).

As you will find out, it has 20+ more managed object types and many more data object types. The way how it works remains the same. All you need to do is to get familiar with the additional classes and methods.

To patch the interface changes (about 10 methods), VI Java API adds additional shorthand methods. So your existing application runs as it is using VI Java API.

I plan to GA the VI Java 2.0 in a month. Please give beta 3 a try and help to file bugs.
