If Silence Means That Much To YouPosted by editor on November 5, 2007 at 5:14 AM PST
...then stay away from the GlassFish forums, because they're hopping. Every once in a while, there'll be so much forum discussion on a single topic, of such variety and such depth, that I'll make the forums section of the front page be entirely about that one topic. It's happened again, really getting a boost Friday from Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart's post on The Aquarium, ... And what do YOU want from GlassFish v3?. Saying that the team had started on detailed plans for the release, and posted a wiki page with the main themes for GlassFish v3 -- which include Next Generation Applications, Ease of Use, and Advanced Production Features as the highest-level -- Eduardo pointed GlassFish users to a mail thread asking for feature requests. This mail thread gets mirrored to the GlassFish forum, and as I did the morning scan, I kept finding the subject line GlassFish V3 planning - What do *you* want in GlassFish V3?, with 32 message already posted under the topic. And a lot of the feedback is really good, which should lead to a very interesting v3 road map. So please indulge me a single-themed Forums, section today, starting with
And in a followup to another feature request for ease of deployment, The Java Today section begins with a major announcement from the OpenJDK project. In his blog, Ivan Tarasov declares that the OpenJDK Mercurial repositories are open. "Finally, we have the Mercurial repositories of JDK7 out in the open. They are still EXPERIMENTAL (yeah, in capitals), which means that these repositories (and their clones) are going to become invalid (totally unrelated to the repositories which would be used) in a couple of weeks, but you can still try to set up your environment and development process (if any) using them. Again, please don't do any real work on the clones of these repositories, the changesets you'd have probably would be useless when these repositories become officially open." With registration now open, the ME Developer Days organizers have announced their first few sessions. Along with an opening keynote by James Gosling, pre-selected talks include C. Enrique Ortiz talking about NFC in Mobile Commerce, Hartti Suomela on Java ME Security Domains and access to APIs, and Rick Hillegas on Tear-off Databases on Phones. Organizers have also announced a handful of Lightning Talks, and posted the agenda. US$175 Early Bird registration for the conference is available through November 30, after which the price goes up to US$225. The latest edition, issue 145, of the JavaTools Community Newsletter is out, tool news from around the web, announcements of three graduations (HibernateQueryTool, SPTRWT, and HtmlMacro), new projects, an announcement regarding JT harness adding the classpath exception to its GPLv2 license, and a Tool Tip on generating new releases for your project using Maven. This week's Spotlight is on the JavaOne 2008 Call for Papers. This year's conference intends to broaden the scope of topics: "2008 will be the most significant evolution of the 13 years of the Conference. We have expanded our topics to include areas that appeal to development - not just in Java technology - but in areas of compatibility and interoperability as well. We are digging into next-generation scripting languages, Web 2.0, ecommerce collaboration, business management topics and more. We are also reaching out to include technologies that play well with Java, exploring the rich development platform available to all. Take this opportunity to share with the developer community how you use technology that relies on Java, leverages the Java programming language, and extends the Java platform." The CFP is underway now and closes on Friday, November 16. Today's Weblogs begins with a post from David Herron on Freeing the Internet from the Web 'jail'. "I've recently been studying our plans for JavaFX -- and at the same time looking at the big picture of where the Internet is going. It's giving me some interesting ideas to ponder. The immediate idea I'm looking at is a customer scenario perspective on the quality of JavaFX as it's being developed." Fabrizio Giudici deals with the challenges of complexity, in NetBeans RCP - beyond suite chaining. "A few months ago I blogged about how to optimize a large NetBeans RCP project by splitting it in parts and taking advantage of a technique known as "suite chaining". Now I'm going forward as I have some more complex requirements to meet and suite chaining doesn't fit with them." Finally, the unappreciated challenges of implementing a Swing caps-lock indicator are the topic of Jan Haderka's Log me in, log me out! "There have been for long time open enhancement request in SwingX for notification about caps lock being switched on in JXLoginPanel. Over a time it acquired quite a few votes (in comparison to your average swingx issue, not that 10 votes is much in absolute numbers) so I thought let's do this, it can't be that difficult.
