I had previously mentioned JDocs on my blog. JSourcery provides a similar service. The site currently comprises the Javadocs for several common APIs (such as the Apache Commons APIs), as well as the actual J2SE Javadocs (although I suspect it is only a matter of time before SUN will force JSourcery to take these down, just like JDocs did).

I recently came across XWiki, a relatively new, Java-based Wiki. For anybody looking to deploy a new Wiki, this looks like a great option.

It has a plugin API and supports RSS....

Therefore, I never even realized that Eclipse does not support JSP out of the box. It does not even provide syntax highlighting! ...
