In Relation To

Great to see that IntelliJ are already working on their support for JSR-299.

I just pushed a new Hibernate Core maintenance release 3.2.7 for download. It is mostly minor fixes and improvements; check out the specifics in the change log either in Jira or SourceForge.

It has been 6 months since the last JBoss Profiler 2.0 release, so I have tagged and uploaded JBoss Profiler 2.0 Beta4 to the web site.

The first patch release for the 1.0 branch of JBoss Tattletale was released today.

Before I start, I want to mention that Seam 3 is extremely green right now. The main motivation for jumping into now is to work out the kinks in the JSR-299 and JSF 2 implementations. Plus, I'm starting to get the word out about what's going on with Seam 3 so that you can help drive its future and be a part of the process.

With work on version 3.2 of Hibernate Search well underway and a range of very interesting features in the pipeline (eg programmatic configuration API, bulk indexing and dynamic boosting), we decided to provide some of the bug fixes also for the 3.1 version of Hibernate Search. Hence here is Hibernate Search 3.1.1 GA. On top of several bug fixes which are listed in the release notes we also upgraded Lucene from 2.4 to 2.4.1.

Haha, just stumbled across this. It's funny to see, a whole three years after the end of the Persistence Wars, and in the face of the incredible success of JPA in almost every corner of Java development, that the conspiracy theorists are still out there, darkly hinting that commercial organisations like Oracle, IBM, RedHat ... have their own vested interest in RDBMS technologies, or in selling application servers.
