Just a quick announcement that I've posted a new release. This is mostly a bugfix release, incorporating fixes to various issues reported on the mailing list, merging patches and features and other enhancements into the framework.
Some notable changes: the Substance (5.1) look and feel is now default. This release also contains some deployment enhancements such as ability to deploy as applet, using jnlp downloadservlet, and option to produce a pack200-enabled distribution.
For a full list of changes, see changes.
Thanks, / Eitan

oslo is a great city. and javazone is a great conference. and i have never seen a jug that compares to the javabin. the javabin, oslo's jug, is responsible for creating javazone.
with respect to jmatter and the talk that i presented yesterday, i must be honest that i was quite disappointed. actually that's an understatement. attendance was quite low, perhaps 30 people. in comparison i attended many less-than-average presentations that were "packed to the gills." anyhow, for me, it's not worth a trip halfway across the world. i feel that the jmatter message is falling on deaf ears.
i am coming to the conclusion that many developers are very conservative. they don't think for themselves. instead, they look around and ask themselves: "how can i avoid getting into trouble? what's everyone else doing? ok, follow the herd." at the talk just prior to mine, titled something along the lines of "a comparison of ioc frameworks: spring, tapestry ioc, google guice, etc.." they took a poll: everyone was using spring. no one was using anything else.
at javazone, one of the tag lines, or motto, is: "ignorance hurts" (see link). they've got a cartoon of three guys in space suits on planet x, and one of them removes his helmet, and shortly afterwards his head explodes. ignorance hurts.
the talk i've enjoyed listening to the most so far was gilad bracha's presentation on a new language he's working on named "newspeak." the jabs and jokes he made about other languages including java were truly entertaining.
over and out.

A patch release of JMatter is out today, which fixes these minor issues discovered after last week's release:
- a rendering issue with the login panel
- issue with persisting BigDecimalEO's
- a bug in minimizing a maximized internal frame (reported by alexcrown (thx))
- a classloader issue that manifested itself with a webstart-deployed app
Thanks, / Eitan

This past October, the Naked Objects group announced version 3.0 of their framework. I know that this version was in the works for some time. Like previous versions, this one keeps pushing the envelope, now offering an HTML-based interface to a nakedobjects system, among several other big features.
The Fall of 2007 was a busy time for me. When the news came out, I did not have or take the time to acknowledge this milestone and participate in the discussions.
I would like to acknowledge this achievement and albeit belatedly, congratulate Richard Pawson, Robert Matthews, and all involved in making this release a reality: congrats!

The JMatter project was fairly dormant during the Fall of 2007. But no longer.
Let's begin with a formal announcement of a new release of JMatter (4 Feb 08). The release notes detail some of the new features.
Let us know what you think.
Watch for new developments in 2008.
