Feeds aplenty from ROME It's hard to believe that all this time, the popular ROME library for working with web syndication feeds (in any of the various RSS or Atom formats), hasn't been 1.0 release quality. Heck, we did a feature article "tour of ROME" over three years ago! And plenty of sites out there proclaim to be powered by ROME, with surely many more that we don't even know about. So it's no surprise that the project's fans would want to celebrate the final 1.0 release. The real surprise is that it's 2009 and only now is the team drawing the line and declaring it a 1.0. Earlier today, the team announced the release of ROME 1.0. ROME is an set of open source Java tools for parsing, generating and publishing RSS and Atom feeds. "ROME includes a set of parsers and generators for the various flavors of syndication feeds, as well as converters to convert from one format to another." The simultaneously released ROME Fetcher 1.0 is a "caching feed fetcher that supports retrieval of feeds via HTTP conditional GET." An off-site ROME 2 project has been set up to collect proposals for a second-generation ROME API. Great project, and we're happy for them. If you're producing or consuming RSS or Atom, you're probably already using ROME. In another announcement from a popular, long-running project, the Java Today begins with the announcement that the Flying Saucer XML/XHTML/CSS 2.1 Renderer project has released a first Release Candidate for Flying Saucer 8. "We consider this to be near-final release quality. We are not planning any more fixes or changes except for critical issues uncovered by your testing. It will help us greatly if you take the time to verify this release works on your own systems, and report back any issues you find. If no significant issues surface, we'll be releasing R8 final in about two weeks, near the end of March." The OpenJDK community has approved the IcedTea project, for incorporating code from GNU Classpath's IcedTea. "In due time, we hope that many of the enhancements provided by IcedTea will appear in the main OpenJDK7 development tree. In the meantime, this project will act as a staging ground for migrating work from the external IcedTea repositories to a true OpenJDK forest, thus easing the process of keeping up with OpenJDK development and simplifying the process of contributing our work back to OpenJDK7. " In today's Weblogs, John Ferguson Smart reports on a little experimentation in Grails 1.1 and Maven taken for a test drive. "Personally, I can't live without my Maven dependency management. Yes, I know, Ivy bla bla bla, but Ivy IDE integration sucks. So I was really looking forward to Grails 1.1 because of its promised Maven support. As people will no doubt be aware, Grails 1.1 came out earlier this week. So I thought I'd take the Maven support for a spin." Xuan Yun shows how to Implement Shadow for JPopupMenu in Synth Look And Feel. "The shadow makes the popup menu looks like a real floating object, attracts users to put focus on it. Today let's see how to implement it in Synth look and feel." Next, in JAX-WS 2.2 and Metro 2.0 nightly builds available for download, Rama Pulavarthi announces that "Nightly builds of JAX-WS 2.2 and Metro 2.0 are available for download. Also covers an update for Maven users accessing JAXB and JAX-WS artifacts from java.net maven repository."
In today's Forums, Fabrizio Giudici considers the viability of scripting Java Advanced Imaging in Re: [JAI] Re: new jai-related, open source project. "Generically talking, any scripting language implemented through JSR-223 can be used with JAI, as well as with any Java runtime library. That means that JavaScript, JRuby, Groovy should be usable with JAI. I don't know how this can be useful, as I think you're meaning a scripting language specifically built for image manipulation and maybe specific optimizations as you mention in the paragraph below." Finally, Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart announces Online Webinar: From Ajax Push to JSF 2.0: ICEfaces on GlassFish - Thu, Mar 12th, 11am PT. "Another Comet/Ajax related webinar! Tomorrow's free online webinar is by Ted Goddard (of ICEsoft). He will detail how to write rich interface applications using Ajax and Comet with JSF and ICEfaces and will also describe how these relate to the new JSF 2.0 specification in JavaEE 6. The presentation will be at 11am US Pacific Time. Point your browser to http://ustream.tv/channel/theaquarium. Recordings of the presentation will be available for later playback."
