VI Java API in VMworld 2009

<P>In the last two months, I was quite busy with porting the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/cloudtools/">CloudTools</a> to vSphere.
The project made its way into both keynotes in VMworld 2009 at San Francisco:</P>
<UL>
<LI><a href="http://www.vmware.com/go/vmworld2009-maritz">Paul Maritz (VMware CEO) Keynote</a>, demoed by SpringSource CEO Rod Johnson (starting at 76'10")</LI>
<LI><a href="http://www.vmware.com/go/vmworld2009-herrod">Steve Herrod (VMware CTO) Keynote</a>, demoed by SpringSource CTO Adiran Colyer (starting at 67'40")</LI>
</UL>

<P>If you haven't watched the keynotes and demos, it's time to do so. You will find out how easy it it to deploy a Java based web app into VMware cloud.
Of course you don't see the API, but it's the power behind the scene.</P>

<P>In the exbihition hall, I talked to many companies and developers who use the VI Java API. Some of them also showed me their products/demos
built on top of the API. Maybe we should have a "PoweredByViJavaAPI" page for companies to show off their products built on top of the API.</P>

<P>A while ago, I called for testimonials from the community. I received many testimonials and will create a new testimonial very soon.
If you have any experience to share with the community, I would be more than happy to include it in the testimonial page.</P>
