In Relation To

As the year comes to an end it is time to reflect over how the Boston JBoss User Group did in 2010.

Congratulations to the whole AS team on the release of version 6! JBoss AS 6 is a Java EE 6 compliant application server, so it includes built-in support for many of the technologies we talk about here: CDI, JPA 2, Bean Validation, EJB 3.1, JSF 2.0, Servlets 3.0, along with many major enhancements in other areas.

We're excited to announce that a majority of the Seam3 modules (listed below) have been migrated to Seam Solder!

JBoss6 is out! :-)

Seam's new project lead, Shane Bryzak, announced last week on the seam-dev mailinglist that the Weld Extensions project has be brought under the Seam project banner and renamed to Seam Solder. Today we are announcing the first release of Seam Solder, 3.0.0.Beta1!

Santa has come early to deliver Hibernate Search 3.3! This release comes with many new interesting and useful features as well as its lot of performance improvements and bug fixes.

We've decided to make a few changes to the leadership of the Seam and Weld projects, the reasons for which I'll outline in this blog post. First however, let me give you the headline changes!

I've just published a release candidate for Weld 1.1.0, the reference implementation of JSR-299: Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE. It's based on the CDI 1.0 API. You can find direct download links at the bottom of this post or you can pull the artifacts from the JBoss Maven Repository.
