We at VMware Developer Center have been busy expanding sample code coverage for programming with the vSphere SDKs. Working with William Lam, we’ve taken some of the examples from his virtuallyGhetto blog (http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/) and re-written them to help Java programmers.
These samples range from getting a first connection to cloning and starting a number of VMs, with more on the way.
