Dick Spellman: Head in the Clouds

You can now download and deploy the Project Woodstock Example application via the Glassfish Update Center.  With the latest version of Glassfish, V2 ur1, you will find the "Project Woodstock Example Application" in the "Web Technologies" section of the Available Software page.  Just startup the Glassfish Update Center from ("glassfish_install_dir"/updatecenter/bin) and you will see it listed.  Just check the box (as shown below) and click on Install.

 After you click through and accept the license, the download and deploy will begin.  It doesn't take long.  If Glassfish is already started, then the application will be autodeployed and appear in the Web Applications list.

You can now launch the application and see what Project Woodstock is all about.  The home page is very much like our project home page on java.net.  You can view all the examples deployed on your Glassfish server via the Preview link.

Some fun for after the holidays.  Enjoy!
 

I finally got some free time to update the look of the Project Woodstock site on java.net.  It now is themed like other Glassfish community projects.  This new theme provides some nice ways to navigate around the Glassfish community to find related projects as well in addition to providing a nice easy way for me to add new features and areas right in the left column menu for future attractions.  I will be tweaking it over the next few days, so try it out and send me feedback.

Special thanks to Eduardo and Kohsuke for the tools and tips.

Enjoy.

 

Well we promoted Build 9 for Woodstock 4.1 last Friday.  New components lately include an Accordion and a BubbleHelp widget.  There is an example for the Accordion and for Build 10 the BubbleHelp component will also have an example.  We will update the Preview page when Build 10 comes out so you can see them online before you download the jar.  Hopefully we will have the new PopupMenu in there as well.

The Netbeans Module is also working now, and the instructions for how to use it have been updated.  We will be posting the module on the download page soon, but you can build it yourself if you get the sources.  This allows access to all the components in Project Woodstock from the NB 6 component palette.

Enjoy!
