OpenJDK is the place to collaborate on an open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition, and related projects.

There are two OpenJDK streams:

• JDK6
  
• JDK7
  

CentOS and OEL include a java-1.6.0-openjdk rpm in their yum repos and you can find java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin rpms for Fedora 9,10 & 11 at:

• http://www.icewalkers.com/rpm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin/fedora-core-9/
• http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

You can test your OpenJDK Java SE plugin is working by running the java jre jvm demo examples that can be found at:

Oracle Sun Java have announced betas of Java SE 7 and Java EE 6 !

• Java SE 7
• Java EE 6

Java SE7 will have :

• comprehensive support for file I/O
• Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) to support stream connections over InfiniBand fabric
  

If your favorite free libre open source project is only available as a tgz or zip (ie umlet) you can now easily turn it into a fully viewable & searchable code repository by using github or google code svn !
You can then use ohloh.net to analyse the code for you !

Simply

1. sign up for a github or google code svn account
2. CREATE a new repo (ie http://github.com/osde8info/UMLet)
   
3. download tgz or zip
4. untgz or unzip
5. ADD files to repo
6. COMMIT files to repo
7. (if using github you may also need to 'remote add' and 'push')
   
8. add enlistment to ohloh (ie git://github.com/osde8info/UMLet.git)

Sit back and enjoy the ohloh.net code analysis and stats !

JavaFX is Launched

JavaFX 1.0 was released on December 4th 2008 with support for MacOSX 10.4 and higher, Windoz, and a preview of JavaFX for Mobile. GNU/Linux and Solaris support are coming soon as well. The release includes a hosted runtime, audio and video support, a complete set of tools for developers, plugins for PhotoShop and Illustrator, and a mobile emulator.

What is JavaFX ?

JavaFX is an expressive client platform for creating and delivering rich internet experiences across all the screens of your life. And now, Sun introduces JavaFX Mobile, which runs directly on Java ME to take advantage of its ubiquity, security, and highly capable feature set.

Why use JavaFX Script ?

Two good reasons are: ubiquitous delivery, and rapid development of graphical applications. JavaFX is built on the Java platform, which is available on everything from cell phones to supercomputers. JavaFX Script is designed so that the developer can express their desired results succinctly and simply. Where most programming languages require the developer to describe what they want imperatively (tell me how to achieve the effect you want), JavaFX Script allows you to instead express many things declaratively (tell me what you want, and I'll figure out how to make it happen). Declarative programming is particularly powerful in expressing the interactive relationships between graphical components, greatly simplifing the code and the development process.

EasyEclipse distributions are prepackaged releases of Eclipse that provides a fully functional Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for a specific type of development such as Java, PHP, Python or Ruby.

NOTE : Do not install EasyEclipse in a directory with a space in it since it will instantly crash !

Each distribution contains everything you need to start developing code, without any additional downloads. Note that there are two releases for some distributions:

• EasyEclipse 1.2.2 is the previous stable release, based on Eclipse 3.2.2. All EasyEclipse plugins are working on this release.

Apparently AppJet writes javascript apps using Java helma and serves javascript apps using Java rhino !

http://dev.helma.org/wiki/Sites+using+Helma/
Another browser based soft-coding framework, offered as a hosting service. The AppJet site itself runs on Helma, providing the environment in which the apps are developed, while the resulting apps themselves are served directly from a custom developed Rhino virtualisation engine.

WebTide Java Jetty HTTP Server is an open-source, standards-based, full-featured web server implemented entirely in Java. It is released under the Apache 2.0 licence and is therefore free for commercial use and distribution. First created in 1995, Jetty has benefitted from input from a vast user community and consistent and focused development by a stable core of lead developers. There are many more examples of Jetty in action on the Jetty Powered Page that has selections from among the tens of thousands of production Jetty instances.
