Blogging Roller: JavaOne factoids

JavaOne factoids

Some little notes from JavaOne in roughly chronological order:

Netbeans Subversion plugin looks really good (and I'm using it now)
Netbeans Maven integration is deep and wide
Those MacBooks can be pretty flakey (and my sympathies to Jason)
For open source Java, the question is how, not if
You can now apt-get Java on Debian, Ubuntu and other Linuxes
Sun Portal, Creator and JMS to be open sourced very soon via Java.Net
The Java Petstore has been updated to use AJAX and Java EE 5
Sun is helping with Eclipse for Solaris/X86
Disney is using Roller for internal blogs
The Geronimo guys like to use Roller to demo ease-of-installation
The Java Web Server guys like to do the very same thing
Google Web Toolkit compiles Java code to AJAXy JavaScript UIs
Tim Bray's Sigrid is a sweet little Java grid engine (but where's the source?)
The JMaki project brings AJAX (Dojo, Scriptalicious, etc.) to JSP and JSF
Visual Basic for Java is on the way via Sun's Project Semplice
Slides for all JavaOne talks are now available online, audio coming soon
Webcasts of general sessions are available too

Hi Dave, Re: Subversion plugin - built from CVS? Is it stable enough for work on Roller?

Hi Migs, you can get the Subversion support by installing the latest Netbeans 5.5 and using the plugin manager to download it. I'm using it with Roller, but currently just for read -- I haven't done any commits with it yet.

Thanks for the tip. I'm now trying NetBeans 5.5 beta, and checked out Roller. It took a long time with no visual feedback of what was happening.
