 Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart's BlogMay 2004 ArchivesWhat is in JWSDP 1.4...Posted by pelegri on May 27, 2004 at 02:03 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)Sun has announced that it will release JWSDP 1.4, the release 1.4 of the Java Web Services Developer Pack, in the very near future. The JWSDP groups together implementations of the key technologies in the areas of WS, XML and Web Applications. The actual pack is not out there yet, so don't look for it. And don't ask me why the PR went out ahead - I think somebody pushed the button a bit too early - but I know the details of the release as I am directly involved in it, and the PR is accurate - or at least, as accurate as PRs are :-) Highlights include:
The implementations of JAXB and JAX-RPC come straight from the jaxb and jax-rpc projects at Java.Net (the home for the developer community for the JWSDP is at Java.Net); the rest of the pieces come from elsewhere, including Sun-internal projects and Apache projects, everything integrated into the JWSDP download. Stay tuned to this channel for an announcement of the actual release... Community Spring CleaningPosted by pelegri on May 22, 2004 at 01:54 PM | Permalink | Comments (7)We have been doing some Spring cleaning and I want to give you a report on where we are, tell you about some future directions, and ask for feedback. Home Page: The three panels in the Community Home Page now have different types of content: general news on the right panel, community news on the center, and community resource links on the left pane. We are trying to update the right pane several times a week with news related to this community collected from different RSS feeds. The center pane is updated less frequently, with news from within our own community. The left page is mostly static and contains links to different resources, including blogs, Wiki projects and people. Types of Projects: Projects at Java.Net can
be Hosted or Linked. Hosted
projects maintain most of their content using the Java.Net machinery;
linked projects exist elsewhere but they are listed in our
directories. Further, projects may be listed in an incubator if
they are not yet ready to be fully advertised to the community.
Finally, we also track products of interest to the community.
I've contacted all the
projects in the last few weeks, classifying them and, in some cases,
deleting projects. As with any cleanup effort, keeping it up to
date is a never ending effort, but we are reasonably up-to-date. Right
now we have about 28 projects in the main directory and about 18
in the incubator, with about 13 additional linked or other
projects. We get a few additional project requests each week; we
are listing the new projects in the left pane. Project Directories: There are multiple
'project directories' at Java.Net, some maintained by the SourceCast
machinery, some are updated at Java.Net. We are now trying to
keep them all synchronized. The directories we highlight in the
left pane are Wiki pages that list all the projects and will eventually
track
their status. We track separatedly the hosted
projects (be them in the incubator or in the main directory) from linked
and other projects and products. Downloads: We are running weekly stats on access to
our projects (thanks to Kohsuke
and Ryan
for this!) and we now have a
link of popular downloads on the left pane. Future Directions: There is a fair amount of effort
in just keeping the existing infrastructure working; but, beyond that,
there are a few ideas that
we want to explore:
