In Relation To

I've just submitted an early draft of the Contexts and Dependency Injection 1.1 (CDI, JSR-346) to the JCP. We (the CDI community) have completed around a third of the features we want to see in CDI 1.1, so wanted to post an early draft to get some wider feedback. Whilst the JCP sort out the paperwork, you can read the draft on jboss.org :-)

I'm very pleased to announce the release of Seam 3.1.0.Beta3. Let's get all the links out of the way first before we get into the details of the release:

Here are the slides[1] from my JavaOne talk on CDI 1.1 :-)

Kevin Pollet and I were interviewed by DZone about the CDI support in Infinispan - if you are interested in Infinispan, caching or data-grids, this should be interesting for you.

We would like to thank everyone that provided feedback to the announcement we made earlier this week.

If so, join me in a webinar next Wednesday where we'll explore you build elastic applications using CDI and Java EE 6. There will be a super cool demo :-D

The second developer snapshot of the IronJacamar 1.1 container have been released.

Hibernate Core 4.0.0.CR4 has just been released. The complete list of changes can be found in the JIRA release notes.

Continuing our journey towards Hibernate Search 4, we decided to add a Beta2 to the schedule.

After quite a pleasant time off the road, it looks like break time is over for me. I'm quite happy and terrified at the same time as it allows me to meet and chat with you but also means I set expectations and have less time to deliver on the projects.
