Eclipse 3.2M5 is out

Downloads are available at http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.2M5-200602171115/index.php . This milestone is the final for API changes, and some time will be spent for feature finalization and functional stabilization. I enjoy Eclipse 3.2M5 with WTP 1.5M4 in developing JEUS because:

1. Powerful debugging
Sometimes class hot swapping works (this is great because I don't need to reboot after I change some engine code). Even "drop to frame" function amazed my team mananger :-)

2. Schema graphical viewer
I have to deal with schemas defined by both Java EE and JEUS. Looking at the outline of a schema file, finding out some specific element, and going to its type by hitting F3... Much more efficient than text searching.

Meanwhile, Eclipse on Mac OS X doesn't support detaching a view from its main window, and that prevents me from fully enjoying dual screen. Anyway, I'm just about to test Eclipse 3.2M5 on Mustang as Java SE 6 compliance is gauranteed.

64 bit Java on Mac OS X

I completely switched my development platform to PowerPC G5 and got curious of whether Java on Mac OS X supports 64-bit mode. The answer is, there's no explicit option for the mode, but certainly some benefit explained at http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/2004/javatechdesktop/TS-3810.pdf . Please correct me if I'm wrong about it and honestly, I wish some day we can see the option on Mac.

My first entry in java.net weblogs

Finally! I have written stuffs about Java on http://www.iasandcb.pe.kr/blog/, but felt that java.net would be a better place to share them. My short bio can tell you roughly who I am, so before posting serious entries, I'd like to introduce myself with a bit more details.

Currently I'm working for TmaxSoft, the biggest middleware company in Korea, and responsible for implementing web services of Java EE 5 for JEUS, a web application server from Tmax. Therefore, I usually play with JAX-RPC 1.1, JAX-WS 2.0, SAAJ 1.3, WSM (JSR 181) 1.1, and EWS (JSR 109) 1.2 :-)

Some might notice my name (or alias, Ias) because Eduardo mentioned about me at his blogs regarding GlassFish and Fast Infoset. However, I started my open source involvement in Apache and am still leading Apache Mirae project for Java mobile web services.

I'll write about Java, particularly web services in general and mobile. At last, I'd like to thank Eduardo for having led me to have such a great opportunity of being a weblogger in java.net.
