In Relation To

Well, I'm safely home after my first JBossWorld, and I wanted to share some of the highlights for Seam at JBossWorld Orlando - lots of presentations about Seam, and more on RichFaces, Hibernate, Tools etc.

The Seam community finally has a new home. Yes, everyone's been begging for this for, like, forever, but we wanted the Seam website to run entirely on Seam, which meant we had to build the infrastructure first.

A friend just sent this, great pictures generated from malware, spam, random SQL, etc.

Seam 2.0.1.GA is now available. Since the big question is always What's new?, I'll get right to it:

It has been interesting to follow the recent communications made by Rod Johnson as you can transparently read SpringSource's strategy. I wanted to blog about it during the last vacations but never fully finished the entry (they were vacations after all). Some elements are outdated now (including SpringSource acquiring covalent) but here it goes just refreshed with links.

I stumbled upon an interesting post by David J. DeWitt and Michael Stonebraker entitled MapReduce: A major step backwards.

The Seam team is back from the holidays, and we're quite happy to be able to say that the 2.0.1.CR2 Seam release is out. We've only got a couple of minor housekeeping (docs) issues to address, so unless we see some big bugs in the next few days, I think we can expect to see a GA release early next week.

I'll be talking about JBoss Tools and Developer Studio at JBoss World in Orlando Florida next month.

This is an updated version of Making Eclipse look good on Linux that integrates the comments and the changes relevant for Fedora 8 (which I finally got around to update to).
