 Ludovic Champenois's BlogMay 2007 ArchivesGlassFish V3 and Eclipse EuropaPosted by ludo on May 31, 2007 at 07:58 PM | Permalink | Comments (6)Bonjour, comment Java? Status update: GlassFish V3 has now a plugin for Eclipse Europa 3.3... Startup is under a second, and deployment of a Java EE 5 Application is under half a second... 
I'll post the plugin jar file soon, on https://glassfishplugins.dev.java.net/ Ludo GlassFish and MyEclipse and Eclipse support...Posted by ludo on May 30, 2007 at 06:17 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)Bonjour, Comment Java? Every time I start the Eclipse IDE, I'm always pleased with the welcome screen:  Did you notice that the only company name mentioned is "Sun Microsystems"? Sweet!. Also, if you've have been using the previous Eclipse versions (3.0), you would have noticed that the Sun light is becoming much bigger:) So I finally got my hands on a release candidate set of zip files to install Eclipse 3.3 Europa at http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R2.0/S-2.0RC0-200705171455/ and after a few try/failures I finally got everything running on my Mac system. I am in the process of updating the GlassFish plugin for Eclipse 3.0 so that finally Eclipse users can create Java EE 5 applications and deploy them to GlassFish V1 and GlassFish V2. The updated plugins should be available in a few days. MyEclipse released a few days ago a new version (5.5) that also brings Java EE 5 support to the developers. It comes with MyEclipse plugins for GlassFish V1 and GlassFish V2. For the time and energy I spent to install the Release candidate for Europa, I must admit that paying a few dollars for MyEclipse is definitely the right investment to do (although I am still missing a complete installer for Mac OSX, and a GlassFish/MyEclipse co-Bundle that would be installable in one shot).  I enjoyed the JSP editor (and renderer), as well as an extensive JavaScript support that should play well with our Ajax jMaki components (that are also available for Eclipse). There are still a few issues in the Java EE 5 support of MyEclipse (for example, one cannot create JPA entity beans in a Web Application, or no pure Java EE 5 Web Services support -Axis is the only supported stack-, or that the fact you need to touch files like web.xml or ejb-jar.xml or application.xml to trigger a redeployment for exploded directories -when these files are now optional in the latest Java EE 5 specification which is all about ease of development and replacement of those xml files into Java annotations)-, but all I can say is that for people who want an Eclipse based IDE to do Java EE 5 development (and target the GlassFish application server), MyEclipse is certainly a very good option and worth the investment. Very soon, MyEclipse will switch to Eclipse Europa platform and the latest good stuff from WTP 2.0. Registering GlassFish in MyEclipse is very easy, and deployment of Java EE 5 applications to it is simple:  Having said that, for people who have the freedom to look at a solution which is not Eclipse based, NetBeans 5.5.1 and the coming NetBeans 6.0 are also offering advanced (and complete) Java EE 5 support, including JSF, JPA, Web Services and more. NetBeans also updates automatically the GlassFish specific descriptors when needed and transparently. In conclusion, it is good to see that there is a wide range of tools targeting Java EE 5, and it's best implementation so far: GlassFish:-) Ludo Nasa World Wind and Phobos...Posted by ludo on May 10, 2007 at 09:45 PM | Permalink | Comments (3)Bonjour, comment Java(One)? Nasa World Wind Java and Phobos? Nasa World Wind is breath taking...I was in the JavaOne's speaker room with Ken Russell, and the question I asked him is: "Can I replace the Earth with Phobos?, one of the Mars's two moons (aka as project Phobos for server side JavaScript...). The aswer is YES...Cool, I have to start working on it asap...

 See you next week at Java-Script-One.Posted by ludo on May 02, 2007 at 07:55 AM | Permalink | Comments (5)See you next week at Java-Script-One. This year, JavaOne has been renamed Java-Script-One. JavaScript client (jMaki), JavaScript server (Phobos), Groovy, jRuby, PHP, Scala, F3, JSON JAXB, GlassFish V3 scripting containers, killer NetBeans IDE support (project, wizards, editors, debuggers,...), it's all about being scripted on top of the JVM. I am sure I missed some scripting languages that will have a session or a BOF next week...No worry, just add a comment. I am losing my voice, and need some REST before the most exciting week of the year at Moscone. A la semaine prochaine, Ludo | |
