dimanche mars 30, 2008 SDPY - BEA, Oracle, Java EE 5, Matisse, and GlassFish
• A year ago, BEA was joining the Java EE 5 parade.
• Interesting one-year-old read given the BEA acquisition by Oracle (and thus the future of Oracle's appserver) and the progress GlassFish has made in 12 months compared to others.
• I've only been using GlassFish for about 2 years (in its current incarnation). Seems longer than that.
• Three years ago, I was hinting at what NetBeans Matisse could look like. It turned out to be a killer feature.
mardi mars 25, 2008 Three years ago, I wrote a couple of blog entries ([1], [2]) about the impact of removing features from NetBeans (which was only available as a single bundle at the time) to bring it closer to java editors in memory consumption.
Nowadays, NetBeans comes in a variety of bundles, including some very lightweight ones such at the 26MB Java bundle, the 22 Ruby bundle, or even the 14MB C/C++ bundle. With JavaScript coming in 6.1 we might see even more bundles (although a JavaScript-only bundle wouldn't make a much sense IMO).

jeudi janvier 03, 2008 Groovy 1.0 is one year old. Version 1.5 has been released since and while Sun has been more focused on JRuby, Groovy and Grails are fairly well supported in both NetBeans and GlassFish.

mardi novembre 13, 2007 Il y a un an, Java passait au GPL. Depuis, pas de fork, plutôt une belle coopération avec RedHat.

samedi septembre 08, 2007 SDPY - Most important Java 7 feature
Two years ago, I wrote this piece on "The most important feature for Java 7". It still sounds like the #1 thing I want from Java 7.

vendredi septembre 07, 2007 Well, it's been a year since Sun hired the JRuby Guys, Charlie and Thomas. Since that JRuby 1.0 has been released and NetBeans support for the language as well as for JRoR is making a lot of waves lately. At the same time, we've seen Jython come back from the dead (v2.2), Groovy reach the long awaited 1.0 (and 1.1), and the birth of JavaFX Script. Great time to be a dynamic developer on the Java platform!

SDPY - Roller, Atom, ...
• Duplicates duplicates duplicates dup...
I've blogged about the huge progress made by Roller and how stable it has become. I'd say it's now a the Unix of blogging engines - reliable and highly configurable. Time to make it a Sun product?
• Mastering feeds is not an easy job...
APP interop is looking good, and Roller is Atom-enabled (of course).

dimanche juillet 15, 2007 My blog, Bistro, turns three today. Looking back at the 552 entries and the 700 comments, I have no reason to regret the time spent writing this although I would have done a few things differently. Blogging is an ongoing learning experience. I used the translate/proof-read books to keep up with the technology, now I blog. Having a blog forces you to learn more and more all the time (a missing bullet point from Tim Bray's excellent "It's not dangerous" entry IMO).

Il y a à peu près deux ans (déjà!), je présentais l'objectif de GlassFish. Nous voici maintenant à l'aube d'une version 2 intégrant un clustering complet et un pile web services performante, interopérable avec Microsoft .Net 3.0 (WCF) et conforme au WS-I BSP (Basic Secure Profile) 1.0.
Bien sûr l'actualité c'est aussi le record de performance SPEC annoncé hier qui place GlassFish tout simplement devant BEA, Oracle et les autres, mais aussi cet autre résultat basé exclusivement sur une pile Open Source. En matière de serveur d'application Java, il n'y a désormais plus à choisir entre Open Source et fonctions d'entreprise.
Coté contributions, au delà d'Oracle qui fournit l'implémentation de référence de JPA, Ericsson est le second acteur important contribuant à GlassFish dans le cadre du projet SailFin, serveur de communication SIP Open Source. Le nombre de contributeurs individuels est également en progression. Les plus méritants ont été récompensés en mai dernier. Le nombre de contributeurs "par emprunts" se porte bien lui aussi: JAX-WS dans Weblogic 10, Metro & JSF dans JBoss 5 pour ce citer que les plus significatifs.
Enfin, coté déploiements, http://blogs.sun.com/stories recense une partie des mises en production de GlassFish. Inutile de parler du nombre de refus (polis) essuyés pour une référence en ligne. Enfin, plusieurs clients français participent au programme beta pour GlassFish 2 qui débute ces jours-ci et d'autres n'attendent qu'une version finale pour passer en production.

SDPY - Groovy
I'm starting a new category. Not that I don't like tags, I do (they let you do consume blogs in all sorts of interesting ways), but I though I'd comment some Same Day Previous Year (SDPY) posts.
A year ago exactly I was mentioning Groovy getting a new leader. Well, needless to say that Guillaume Laforge and the rest of the Groovy team have done a lot of progress pulling out a 1.0 for a technology some people considered was no longer relevant given how often 1.0 promises were made.
Oh and Guillaume is a really nice (almost always ;-) laid back guy too.
