写在后面：
从今年这份Jolt大奖获奖名单可以看出一些国外技术发展的端倪：
从书籍项列出的获奖书籍来看，国外对设计模式的研究还方兴未艾，而且关于
Java的开源项目的书籍也是备受青睐，比如Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook，
Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse。也难怪，今年的语言和开发环境项的Jolt
大奖得主是Eclipse，库、框架、组件项的Jolt大奖得主是Hibernate。2005中Java
开源项目真是硕果累累啊。开源社区正在吸引全世界更多的程序员加入。
另一个方面，今年的Jolt大奖加入了两个测试项的Jolt奖项。软件中关于测试工具的
使用和制造也越来越来吸引人们的目光。人们对于 “敏捷”有了更加清晰的认
识：“迭代以及频繁的测试。”而越来越多的测试工具会让测试变得越来越有趣。
突然想起微软，哦，.net你在哪里？
