If you have read Easy vSphere Web Apps with Grails and the VI Java API or Easy VMware Development with VI Java API and Groovy then you know I’m a big fan of Steve Jin’s vSphere Java API. And I recently received the following email …
Folks,
We are running a survey to better understand the needs of the greater community using the vSphere / VI Java API. I am referring to http://vijava.sourceforge.net.
The survey takes less than 5 minutes and it would help us understand what you need from VMware. Does your organization require formal support, indemnification, training or does the current model work for you ?
This survey will be confidential; we will not disclose your name or who you work for. We just want to understand how you are using the vSphere / VI Java API and what you need from VMware.
Link to survey: http://www.surveymethods.com/EndUser.aspx?C4E08C96C4859496C2
Thanks for your time and hope to see you at our Developer Days @ VMworld 2010

So if you’re a developer using the vSphere Java API – or if you would like to use it but can’t for some reason (e.g. lack of official support) – then I would ask that you take the survey. I’ve already taken the survey, and I can assure you it’s quick and painless. Thanks for your help!
