In Relation To

Lincoln Baxter and Mike Brock have been working away on our next generation RAD tooling for rapidly scaffolding applications. Seam Forge is different because it allows anyone to interact with the project via plugins written using CDI.

Stuart released a couple of Seam 3 modules -- XML and Persistence over the weekend. Check out his blog.

Whilst at JUDCon 2010:Berlin, Michael Schuetz interviewed me about Seam 3. We covered the current status of the project, development challenges and what you can expect from Seam 3. You can read the whole interview here

Dan did a webinar yesterday looking at Java EE 6 and CDI, showing how it can be used to improve your application development.

Weld Extensions is a portable library (licensed under the ASL 2) providing utilities and common functionality for CDI applications and libraries or frameworks based on CDI alike. We'll be using it as the base of Seam 3. It contains extensions to the core CDI programming model, typed logging (courtesy of JBoss Logging 3), managed resource loading and support for evaluating EL anywhere.

Just a brief note to mention a couple of conferences where I'll be talking about Seam 3, and diving into how you can build rich apps taking advantage of some of the recent cloud technologies from JBoss (such as Infinispan and EC2 images). Next week you can catch me at JAXLondon on Tuesday at 11:45 AM.
