You guys should really use freshmeat for every single milestone release. 
 You can set it up to have stable and unstable branches as well, 
announcing releases off of each.

You get anywere from 300-1000 additional looks, as lots of people check 
the feed.  It will often pop up on java.net and the like, just from the 
freshmeat posting.  I'd definitely add it to your release process.

best regards,

Chris
