In Relation To

This is a small thing that I ran into when writing Decision Tables using OpenOffice:

I'm on my way home from the Seam community meeting in Antwerp this Friday, where I managed to talk to two or three people about the Javadoc-based documentation toolset I've been working on, but there was no opportuntity to talk about it in more detail or to look at some actual examples.

IntelliJ now has support for the new JPA 2.0 typesafe query facility I've been blogging about. It's very important that this stuff works smoothly with tooling, so it's great to see that the tooling vendors are on this early.

I've written up a wish list for the next release of CDI (either a maintenance release, or a version 1.1). These are just suggestions that I'll be taking to the Expert Group.

Asylum 4 is out.

InfoQ has published a their questions and my answers about CDI and Weld.

I have been at a few conferences lately and the EE 6 wave is taking a bunch of people by surprise. Tsunami level 6. The last two examples are W-JAX and Devoxx.

I'm happy to announce the Tattletale 1.1.0.Beta1 release, which contains many new features.

One of the really nice things about Weld is how nicely it works in Java SE. Of course, if you run Weld on its own, you won't get nice functionality like EJBs (you'll need an embeddable EJB container for that), but you do get a bunch of great stuff, including:

A developer new to Java EE posted in the Weld forum asking for advice on getting started learning EE 6. I've decided to promote part of my response in the forum to the blog.
