In Relation To

Have you ever found yourself frustrated with a ClassNotFoundException? Would you like to know what libraries are in your project and what they depend on? Would you like to get a full report on this stuff every time you run your ant build? If so you need to take a look at the new JBoss Tattletale project!

Bean Validation's public draft has now been approved by the EC (all members voting yes except Nortel and SpringSource who did not vote).

The revised Public Review Draft of Contexts and Dependency Injection (JSR-299, the spec formerly known as Web Beans) was approved by the EC with all EC members voting Yes, except for Nortel and SpringSource who did not vote.

The first part of my new article, published today on JSFCentral, explains how you can increase the rendering performance of a data-driven, JSF-based Seam application by two orders of magnitude! The article originated out of a contract job I did over the summer (before joining Red Hat). I worked for a group of scientists to develop a data-driven application using Seam, JSF, and RichFaces. That means it comes straight to you from the real-world ;)

We had some issues with the download links to sf.net when we announced JBoss Tools 3 CR2.

Roberto Chinnici (EE6 co-spec lead) posted that EE6 has entered public review phase - the perfect chance for you to comment! Or, if you are in a hurry, perhaps just vote in this poll.

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.

In the previous article we spoke about annoying issue of the Mojarra 2.0.0 PR when the empty attributes are rendered to the final html code. The issue was posted to the Mojarra project: https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=940

I'm pleased to announce the release of Web Beans 1.0.0.ALPHA2. This release implements around 80% of the JSR-299, Java Contexts and Dependency Injection specification and represents the second major milestone on the road towards the GA release. The only major features missing from this release are conversations (already on their way!) and support for annotating your beans using XML.
