Dick Spellman: Head in the Clouds

The team has released Build 11 of the Project Woodstock 4.1 web component library on August 31st.  This particular milestone build had to be free of P1 and P2 bugs since it was integrated into NetBeans 6 for their Beta 1 build.  NB 6 Beta 1 is scheduled to be released on the web in about 10 days or so.  You can find their schedule here.

The concentration is now on fixing P3 bugs through until the release at the end of October.  We plan on 4 more bi-weekly promotion builds, then we get started on 4.2.  So look at the plans on the Roadmap page, and look at the features/components planned for 4.2 (Drag'and'Drop, new AJAX Tab and Tree, etc.) and send us your input on what you would like to see.

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.

 

Build 10 for Woodstock 4.1 was posted/announced on Wednesday August 15th.  This is our Feature Freeze build and we are now entering serious bug fixing mode.  The last new component added was the ActionMenu.  There are now examples for the Accordion and the BubbleHelp components. You can check them out from the Preview page if you want to see them online before you download the jar.

We have updated the instructions for how to use the NetBeans module.  We will be posting the module on the download page soon and will document how to setup NetBeans 6 to "monitor" the site for updates throught the Update Center.  We have also updated the Build it Yourself instructions if to clarify how you setup your environment once you get the sources and want to build them, either inside NetBean  or standalone.

Build 11 should be coming out on August 31st and will be the build we promote for NetBeans 6 Beta 1, so stay tuned.
