Cheer It OnPosted by editor on March 12, 2008 at 7:45 AM PDT
NetBeans wins again Great news from last week's SD West Conference and the 18th Annual Jolt Awards ceremony, as NetBeans has won the development environment award for a second year in a row. The IDE was also a "Productivity Award" winner in two categories: Web Development and Mobility Development (with Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2), also repeating last year's wins.
A few other Jolts worth noting: the winner in the General Books category was O'Reilly's Beautiful Code, which features a chapter by java.net "Open Road" columnist Elliotte Rusty Harold. java.net partner Atlassian won the Change and Configuration Management category for FishEye, which keeps an eye on java.net project activity (more information at the old Cenqua java.net Partner page). And O'Reilly Radar won the Jolt in the "Websites and Developer Networks" category. Perhaps tomorrow we'll discuss the ramifications of the recent Radar post, State of the Computer Book Market, Part 4 - The Languages, as it is of particular interest (or alarm?) to Java developers. Also in Java Today, The Aquarium reports that Portlet 2.0 is now a Final Specification. "The Portlet 2.0 specification (aka. JSR 286) is now final (see vote). The Proposed Final Draft is now available and should be very close to the Final Final Spec. Sun has support for it in the NetBeans Portal Pack (Blog Entry, Article, download), and will be in Portal Server 7.2, both based on the Open Source Portal-Container project. All these are supported on GlassFish. And Liferay has also announced it will support Portlet 2.0 in Liferay 5.0 (Support Case)... and Liferay is also Supported on GlassFish." 1-800-HUDSON? In his Amazon blog entry, Jott to Build - use voice commands to build software, Paul M. Duvall describes an admittedly "gimmicky" technique to build his project via a voice command and a continuous integration server such as Hudson. "I dial an 800 number provided by Jott from my cell phone. When prompted, I say "Build Stage" and hang up. Jott sends my transcribed voice to my email account. On a scheduled basis, an Ant script parses my email searching for keywords. It finds "Build Stage", so it runs an Ant target to execute a remote deployment in the Stage environment." Today's Weblogs starts with help from Wolfram Rittmeyer about Resources in Glassfish. "This blog entry describes how to configure resources in Glassfish (e.g. DataSources). The command line tool asadmin is used to set up a connection pool, test this pool and use the pool as the base for a jdbc resource entry. Also a JavaMail Session is created to be accessed via JNDI from within a servlet." Is That Shortcut in Use? Gregg Sporar writes, "last month I wrote a blog entry on a feature that seems hard to discover: Hippie Completion. That led to a question: Is there a way to determine if a keyboard shortcut is currently assigned?" Finally, in Anybody could explain me what is going on with Brazilian DTV?, Bruno Ghisi has some questions about Java- and non-Java-based digital TV standards: "what is really going on with Brazilian Digital TV? What happened with Ginga-j?"
In today's Forums,
