As per usual, let's get the links out of the way first:

As promised, we finally put our OpenBlend 2011 photos online. You can see them here:

It’s more than a week since I returned home from this year’s JavaOne, hence it’s probably high time I put down a few words on what was going on there.

I had the pleasure of gabbing about JBoss Modules a couple times at the Red Hat/JBoss booth at JavaOne this year, drawing frankly more interest than I thought I'd see. As a part of my talk (the video for which you can download here [well, soon anyway]), I chatted a bit about what the future may hold for Java in terms of modular runtime, modular development lifecycle, and distribution management. Some things seem certain - that the current paradigm won't hold, for example - and some are very uncertain - such as what, if anything, will replace Maven as the ubiquitous modular build/distribution system of the future.

We are continuing our quest for Hibernate Search 4.0. No breaking news for this release, we are quietly moving to the candidate release phase. As Sanne, said the big news is that there are no big news ;)

I'm happy to announce the release of Tattletale 1.2.0.Beta1 - the tool that will betray your project's naughty little secrets.
