In Relation To

Out of need, I recently contributed a data-flow analysis framework to javassist. The framework allows an application to determine, by inference, the type-state of the local variable table and stack frame at the start of every bytecode instruction. For those unfamiliar with the java bytecode format, a lot of information is lost once a java program is compiled, since it is not really needed when the program is executed, and leaving it out helps keep class files small.

We've released Seam 2.0.3.CR1. This is a relatively small release focussed on fixing up a few small issues with Seam 2.0, making our stable Seam 2.0 branch even better. The most significant change is an upgrade of Facelets for better JBoss 5 compatibility, but there are a handful of other changes that existing Seam users should look over. Please give the release a spin and give us feedback if you run into any issues.

The Rotterdam JBug is happening June 20th and import.sql is a pretty neat feature for unit testing. Two unrelated infos in one entry today, let's call it macroblogging!

Today we are releasing JBoss Tools 2.1.0.GA.

The latest release of Seam 2.0.2.SP1 includes a completely updated reference guide chapter for deploying Seam on BEA's Weblogic . The primary focus was on working around several issues with Weblogic and EJB3 support.

The 2.0.2.SP1 release addresses two issues that were found in the 2.0.2.GA release.

For those that are interested in what's happening with Seam Security, I've written an article describing the improvements to the security API in Seam 2.1.0. You can read the full article here, but to summarise, it covers the following features:

I'm pleased to say we have released Seam 2.0.2.GA.

Seam 2.0.2.CR2 is now out. This release fixes almost all the known issues with CR1 release, with most of the changes related to minor problems with the examples and the documentation. The laundry list for the GA release is quite small, so I expect we'll have it out shortly. However, the exact timing depends on what kind of feedback we get from the Seam community. If you want to help us get it out faster, give 2.0.2.CR2 a test run and report back if you encounter anything out of the ordinary.
