Publicize your Project
There are many ways you can publicize your project on java.net. This will help bring attention to the development you are doing, increase your membership and in many other ways improve your project. Also read Juan Carlos Soto's suggestions for Sponsoring a Successful Project.
Here are some of the java.net features that can help others find out about your work:
Projects & Communities Daily Update
Every weekday on the java.net front page we mention two noteworthy things that are going on in the java.net Projects and Communities. Take a look at previous announcements and submit a descriptive paragraph with helpful links.
Also in Java Today and Spotlight
Has someone else featured an article about your project that you would like others to read?
On the java.net front page and community page we have a special area where we spotlight a particular project for about a week.
News Item
Did you recently finish a new version of your project? Did you make a new milestone. If so, that's news! Create a paragraph describing new functionality and a bit about what the project does. Link to downloads and documentation.
Featured Article
Every week we publish about two articles. You could write an article that relates to your project. This is a great way to get people excited about your project.
Event Listing
Is your project going to be presented at an event? Perhaps at a Java User Group meeting? If so, add the event to our event listing.
RSS Feeds
Do you have an RSS feed related to your project? If so, add it to our Java related listing of RSS feeds.
