Kohsuke seems to have an extra allocation of fame: he already had his 15 minutes from Java.Sun.Com and how he gets an extra dose with an interview at Java.Net that centers on Hudson, his CI project. Other Hudson links include Eric Lefevre compares it with other vendors and includes screenshots; Andrew Glover talks about SVN authentication; Lars Trieloff has multiple blogs on Hudson and Glen Smith covers Hudson with Groovy and Cobertura. Earlier TA spotlights on Hudson are here. The Hudson website has plenty of useful information. Added: Also check out Elliotte Rusty Harold's Thread and Kohsuke's most recent post.

Last week Kohsuke put together some JavaScript code that we have started using to provide some visual consistency across the GlassFish projects. He also applied it to the GlassFish wiki. This is just a first pass; most projects have converted (see tor example, GlassFish, JAX-WS, Phobos, JSF, Grizzly and many more) but not all have yet (like jMaki). The common infrastructure will make improvements much easier.

See you at GlassFish Day!

Kohsuke has set up mirrors for the Java.Net Maven repositories,archive-old-02 • As a mirror for https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/ (m1), use http://download.java.net/maven/1/ • As a mirror for https://maven2-repository.dev.java.net/ (m2), use http://download.java.net/maven/2/ Thanks, Kohsuke.

Membership: #2 (GlassFish), #6 (OpenESB); Accesses: #1 (GlassFish), #4 (Blueprints), #8 (AJAX/jMaki), #10 (JSF); Commits: #2 (OpenJBI Components), #3 (JAXB2-Reflection), #5 (GlassFish), #7 (Hudson); Hits: #1 (GlassFish), #4 (Blueprints), #8 (AJAX/jMaki); Mail: #3 (GlassFish), #10 (OpenSSO).

All these metrics are just approximations: for example, developer traffic will increase mail stats while forums are not counted at all, and Java.Net reports per-project statistics without accounting for any logical groupings. Still the stats are useful in tracking adoption, interest and participation.

The current poll at Java.Net is asking Have you used GlassFish?. To vote, go to Java.Net and look on towards the middle of the righ hand side bar. To see the current results, look here.

All these metrics are just approximations but they are useful in tracking adoption, interest and participation. The mail traffic is a partial indicator as it is biased in one way (DEV shows developer traffic) and in the opposite (Forums are active but not counted).

Running late again on the stats. Here are those for September...

Part 2 of an article on opensource portal and portlet development is available now on Sun Developer Network. The article's focus is on the new opensource repository for portlets on java.net. As the popularity and resources of opensouce portlets grows, users of portals will gain more and more benefit at a higher and higher ROI of their portal projects. What a great idea for opensource participation. Contributing and sharing portlets which provide simple deploy-and-play functions for portal's and portal pages.

I better report on the statistics for August before those for October come out...

Ed reports on a Refresh of the JSF Components in the Java.Net Maven Repository. The repository is continuously updated; there is also work on a Maven 2 repository and in synchronizing with the iBiblio repository. We will report on that in the near future.

GlassFish components in the repository include: JAX-RPC, JAXP 1.4, Java Persistence and EJB 3.0, JSTL 1.2, Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.0 and JSP 2.1, XML Stream, Fast Infoset, JSFs, JavaMail and Activation, JAXB, JAX-WS and SAAJ. More components will be added in the future.
