Très synthétiques et informatifs.

Pretty nice !

It even supports automatic non overlapping layout of tasks just like jxCAL-Dynamic did with events

The Jaret Timebars version:

What's new here is that you can specifically share the same eclipse formatter configuration between your eclipse workspace and your command line building tool

Code formatting support using the Eclipse Code formatter could be added to the Maven 2 Eclipse plugin. I've submitted a RFE for this new feature (MECLIPSE-272) on the codehaus JIRA.

Nice one.

At last ! Thanx Spring guys This has been at the top of my feature request list for a long time ...

Spring 2.1 will be a killer framework and Spring-OSGi/Spring MVC/JPA the next killer combo !!

Java2Html converts Java (and other) source code (complete files or snippets) to HTML, RTF, TeX and XHTML with syntax highlighting.

This open source Java project consists of an extendible library along with a Java application, a Java applet and many plugins in order to integrate the library into other programs.

Tiny code sample which explains how to bootstrap Equinox in a Java application.

Very interesting feedback on what's going on at JavaOne about modularity in general.

Some exiting news came out of a interview with Robert Brewin by ONJava.com. He mentions that modularization of the JRE will become a priority and will target Java 7.

This could change Java's distribution model to make it more Flash like.

Some mention that Sun has only recently understood the need to change Java's distribution model but this is not true, modularizing Java has been in the air for a long time, but this is a tremendous task, a lot of parts of Java are tighly coupled ... thus seperating them is very difficult. Using Dependency Structure Matrices here might help a lot

Sun seems to have felt the urge for doing this move right now because of the pressure of Microsoft and Adobe. In particular, Flash distribution model is transparent and seemless, you can be confident that your users have a pretty recent version of the flash engine on their browser, and if they don't, updating is a breeze. Only corporate users might have more difficulties though.

With the move to an Open Source license and many people wanting to see java modularized, maybe Sun is expecting some help from the community with this huge task.

The modularization of Java will definitely be one the biggest features of the forthcoming Java releases.

Let's hope that this feature will come true at last.

How yes it is ... hard I mean and sometimes it works yes ...

I can't wait for EMF model merging and comparaison to be a reality

A free to use and download but not Open Source framework which enables to query code using an object oriented query language.

Apparently, reports can be generated and assertions also.

The bad thing is that it seems to depend on a database. Direct code querying doesn't seem possible.

This project fills a huge gap, batch processing is amongst those things you never want to do in a project but, that you always get (are forced) to do anyway.

I've developed custom solutions for this matter for almost each project I've been involved with (Spring based of course ).

Sonatype, the new Maven centric Open Source company has made available a new Maven guide.

It includes advanced techniques, some of them not described elsewhere, very valuable.

.NET's LINK has amazing language features.

This is gonna save me some writing

What I've been looking for for a while

Good news.
