Eclipse and that jerk Andy.

Apparently the trick to getting a large number of hits from java.blogs is to mention an IDE, especially Eclipse, or, if that fails, insult <a href=" http://www.freeroller.net/page/acoliver">Andy Oliver. Don't worry, I will use this new found power for good.

I'll tell you about a new blog on my java.blogroll: Erik Hatcher. As Matt Raible <a href= "http://www.raibledesigns.com/page/rd/20021218#erik_hatcher_s_blog">pointed out the other day, Erik is an Ant guru, author, and speaker. As Sam Ruby pointed out, Erik is rewriting Rael Dornfest's minimalistic <a href= "http://www.raelity.org/apps/blosxom/">Blosxum (pronounced "blossom") blogger in Java. Erik is using the <a href= "http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/index.html">Lucene search engine for blog entry storage, thus the name Blogscene. Cool stuff.

I also added Matt Croydon, whom I know less about but have reading regularly for a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to meeting Matt at the next RTP bloggers lunch on Monday. He is driving down from the D.C. area.

Speaking of RTP bloggers, Mark Pilgrim now has a monthly column on O'Reilly's XML.com site called Dive into XML. Check out his first column What is RSS?. Congratulations Mark!
