got some java lobby love today which is always a great way to start the day. here's the quote from the article in full:

MyJXTA2 Gets Audio

Over the weekend, James Todd of JXTA fame dropped me an IM letting me know that there was some more JXTA goodness coming up soon. Apparently, a contributor sent in some new code that allows MyJXTA2 to handle sending audio over the Java P2P library. I think its great that JXTA is making such progress and this new addition enables us to begin thinking about things similar to a Java clone of Skype (for whatever reason we would want to do that!) and it’s the start of online conferencing technology over Java P2P (now if they could just send video). This afternoon I received a demo of the VOIP and I was blown away! Now, this new functionality is cool, but I'm still not sure whether it has made it into the nightly builds yet. You'll need to stay tuned to the JXTA website or try out the nightly web start builds of MyJXTA2 until the new functionality comes up. Tomorrow, I hope to have a thread about it at JL with some slick screenshots. We also hope to have a slick article (or maybe a series of articles?) about JXTA which will hopefully de-mystify some of the difficulty that often surrounds starting a new project with this powerful technology.

can you hear me now? yes. yes i can.

just posted some of the updates for the quarter to java.net. great to see the jxta c implemenation gain parity. for me personally getting the jxta maven reports churned out nighly has been a much needed process from which we should be able to repurpose much of the less complete build processes and in turn start running load and performance tests and the like. you don't know what you can't measure.

daniel has graciously offered to share his sd.west presenation time with us so that should be fun as we hope to cover some interesting ground.

just took the myers-briggs that dcb mentioned. i'm ENTP which is what i was back in college when i took the test for the first time. guess that's just wired in my genetics.

not sure where dcb got the swag intp grapic but it reports that we ENTPs make up 2% of the population. tasty as i'm not one that hangs well with the lemming crowd. whoops. there i go. the little MB test warned me about such an attitude. oh my. what am i to do? i know ... go big or go home!

and i'm a scorpio too boot. lethal!

ENTPs of the world unite.

got the jxta nightlies to include maven reports now. this is just the start as i hope to narrow down the existing ant workload by moving more the exceptional tasks, doc creation and the like, to maven.

i was able to support multiple source directories for the javac goal which is a great start but i have yet to find a generic means to accomplish this for all goals and reports ... short copying all the source into a common work directory. i'd love to hear words of wisdom from mavenites in this regard.

the quarterly bugday is upon us again. this build includes a runtime patch that addresses network configurations for those instances that may have been incomplete yet otherwise operational. this will soon be in the nightly build at which point all instances should be syncronized.

so, consider running the following and participate in the 2.3.3b bugday:

dc2daylight has some really nice things to say about myjxta and, more importantly imho, about the folks make the myjxta experience real and meaningful. the later is what it is really all about.

I've been using MyJXTA for a couple of days, and I really like it. It has a text-to-speech feature that allows me to follow a conversation while I work on other things, and it allows me to set up file shares as well. MyJXTA is great for me since I'm very hardware/OS agnostic.

The folks developing it are great too. I was really pleased that as soon as I logged on, I was greeted by someone (polo) who gave me a tour and some pointers on using it. The experience was exactly what Esther Dyson wrote about in Release 2.0; an online community in action.

Get MyJXTA here. Give it a try, and look me up. My user name is "dc2daylight".

Thanks to MaryMary for turning me on to MyJXTA, to "polo" for the tour, and to GonzoMoFo for caring about what users think.

i changed the super peers that myjxta uses and as such a restart might, unfortunately, be required. for a fresh start, remove the ~/.myjxta directory and restart myjxta.
