Bio
Max Rydahl Andersen is the tooling architect at JBoss by Red Hat.
Day-to-day he leads the development behind JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio.
In the early days he worked on Hibernate Core even before it became part of JBoss, and over time he have been involved in alot of projects at JBoss, mainly focused on the tooling/developer aspects.
He gets to touch upon almost every technology inside JBoss as they need tooling. It's given him a unique viewpoint of being an actual user of the technology - feeling both the pains and joys of a user.
Max have been involved in Ceylon from the early days and tried to keep up with the evolving specifications. Gives feedback and provide input in directions of the tooling and as such is now trying to make Ceylon available from Eclipse.

After an alpha, a beta, 2 CR's and countless nightly builds I'm proud to present the JBoss Tools 3 release!
One of the most wanted feature requests for our tooling is Maven integration/support for our projects, such as Seam.
Remember the blog, How to create a visual DocBook editor in 10 minutes and how it described how to create a Docbook editor with the Visual page editor in JBoss Tools ?
EclipseCon 2009 is getting closer and I really should get started preparing my talks.
We had some issues with the download links to sf.net when we announced JBoss Tools 3 CR2.
I just got the word that JBoss Developer Studio 2 CR2 is now available for download for free from the beta download page or via the Customer Support Portal (CSP) (requires a subscription).
Many things in Eclipse require or uses a classpath, i.e. java projects, junit and server launches, hibernate console etc. For these classpath containers are handy to use instead of forcing users to individually pick the (possible long) list of jars needed to get their work done. A classpath container allow plugin providers to automatically create a group of jar's which can be added and removed in one operation - simple and efficient.
JBoss Tools 3 CR2 is ready! The next one will be GA.
Galder got a blog entry describing how to use Project Archives available in JBoss Developer Studio and JBoss Tools to build the rt.jar in OpenJDK.
Emanuel Muckenhuber send me this video today showing how JBoss Tools trunk looks like when animated with code swarm.
