In Relation To

DZone just posted an interview with me about Seam.

Just waiting for my flight back to Sweden after being invited to present Hibernate Search at the monthly JBUG Munich meeting. I was pleasantly suprised that despite school holidays a respectable crowd showed up for the meeting. The feedback was throughout positiv and hopefully there are now a few new Search convertees spreading the word in Munich.

Without much ado I am happy to announce the following releases:

We've started to build 3.2.2 betas.

Last week we had the good fortune of having a Hibernate and Seam team meeting.

The RESTEasy project is an implementation of JAX-RS. I've just committed the docs for the first step of the integration into Seam. You need a nightly build of Seam 2.1 trunk (wait until tomorrow for updated docs in the nightly build) or better a current SVN trunk checkout.

I noticed that there have been a lot of JBoss Tools related news going on while I were on vacation (maybe I should stay on vacation ?)

It has been a long time since an Hibernate Search release but we have not been lazy. We are pleased to announce 3.1.0 Beta1 with tons of new features and enhancements. This release uses Lucene 2.3.x and works with Hibernate Core 3.3, Hibernate Annotations 3.4 and Hibernate EntityManager 3.4. Here is a list of some of the major new features and enhancements:

On Monday afternoon I will be talking about Seam and Web Beans at the UK JBoss User Group in London.

Over on Thinking in Seam, I've been running a series on working with Google Maps using Seam and I thought it would be an idea to put the links to the series in order on here.
