You can get the full scoop at the SWDP site, but basically SWDP is a bundle of technologies to help developers build "Web 2.0" or next-generation web applications on the Java platform. Ajax, scripting languages, REST and of course RSSAtom are all part of that. The RSSAtom bits are ROME 0.9 (Beta), Blogapps 2.0 (Early Access) and...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/sun_web_developer_pack_r1 JPA JPA JPA- March 8, 2007 That's three JPAs. I've been fighting to get a new Roller back-end running, one that uses the Java Persistence API (JPA) rather than the native Hibernate API that we use now. Craig Russell and Mitesh Meswani wrote the new JPA back-end and tested it against ToplinkJPA (JPA 1) and the Derby database.

Just drop the hudson.war file in Tomcat's webapps directory or deploy to your favorite app server and start setting up build jobs. Hudson can pull from CVS and Subversion. It can run Maven builds, Ant builds and shell scripts. It can publish javadocs, build artifacts, test reports and RSS feeds. The UI is...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/hudson JavaOne here I come!- March 3, 2007 I'm very happy to report that my talk was accepted for JavaOne 2007. I'll be giving a thoroughly revamped and updated version of my Beyond Blogging talk (aka Johnson on Feeds), which adds in-depth coverage of ROME and ROME Propono. I'm excited about going to JavaOne again, but I'm also feeling a bit frazzled. I'm swamped with work right now and I've got a stack of deadlines clustered around the March 20 due date for the slides.I helped out with the session selection for the web-tier track.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/javaone1 |
