JavaBlogs is Mavenised btw JavaBlogs is Mavenised btw. I forgot to mention, javablogs.com is now completely built, tested and deployed with Maven! Congrats to the Maven guys on producing a kickass piece of software, that's only going to improve with age. (Oh - and if you want to peddle your Maven or javablogs suggestions, try #maven on irc.werken.com) [rebelutionary] Maven continues to spread. 12:27:18 PM    comment []

Pattern testing with aspects Pattern testing with aspects. I've just stumbled on a new project called Pattern Testing that looks interesting, particularly as its being packaged up as a Maven plugin. I remember Vincent telling me about it over lunch a few months ago. Vincent is one of the main developers behind it and he's also an active Jakarta committer and one of the main guys behind Cactus as well as being a committer on Maven and Struts.

Compile your old TRS-80 Model 1 BASIC programs for the JVM :-) Languages for the JVM. [bayard] responded in one of my comments sections with a great list of  Languages for the Java VM which includes over 160 entries. Some fascinating projects on the list. I never knew so many languages run on top of the JVM. [James Strachan's Radio Weblog] There's even a TRS-80 Model 1 BASIC Interpreter ! Going back to my childhood :-) 11:48:57 AM    comment []

Sun allows JBoss to be J2EE 1.4 certified ! JBoss Soon to be J2EE 1.4 Certified?. According to The Register JBoss has completed J2EE 1.4 support and could become the first appserver to be J2EE 1.4 certified. JBoss will not be a complete implementation of J2EE 1.4, though. The article quotes Marc Fleury saying that APIs for Web services were excluded because of a lack of demand. The APIs will be included should that change, he said. From The Register's article JBoss received the green light last week, after Sun told ComputerWire that it would allow all of the APIs contained in J2EE 1.4 to be open sourced. Fleury had expressed concern that certain critical APIs, including Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 2.1, would be not be made available to open source organizations [TheServerSide.Com: Your J2EE Community] This is an excellent news ! I'm glad Sun finally opened up the J2EE APIs. JBoss will now receive the recognition it deserves. 11:33:08 AM    comment []
