As of now Hudson-CI is leading the poll, altough it seems like a "work in progress" for the list isn't 100% complete see: http://java.dzone.com/polls/which-continuous-integeration & see the posts comments.

Google has taken over the web & e-mail by far and truth is I don't blame them every "day" we hear of something new.

What can I say they are just very good at what they do ... I tried it and it is very accurate ! (at least form me )

There's a constant discussion about Scala being a complex language. In this post I'll try to show the simple parts of Scala that make coding easier.

 

My favorite article about why Scala is not complex is by Martin Odersky, the father of Scala: http://lamp.epfl.ch/~odersky/blogs/isscalacomplex.html. But there's one problem with it, it appeals to those already in favor of Scala.

 

I think Scala *is* complex. Some due to the functional concepts that are foreign to the Java world, some due to the requirement to work inside the JVM (and CLR). In fact, I was against Scala since 2006, because then I tried to learn it and found the syntax awkward. I recently had to start using it because a client required me to and haven't looked back since.

 

Ok, so now to the actual post, why should you use Scala: because some parts of it make programming easier even for novices:

When I read this article a week ago or so I wasen't so excited from the improved search interface - Until I gave it a try.

Please note: in order to upgrade you will need to expire the cache of all the repositories - the improved search is a result of new lucene indexes included with 1.7.x version.

 

  • IMHO search speed is 10 times faster the 1.6.0
  • The search details is very useful for exmaple:

I serched for maven (naturally ...)

nexus search 2

And

nexus search 1

Hi,

A client had this issue. Instead of presenting the whole case, here are two links that explain the scenario and provide possible solutions to this issue if you ever encounter it:

I found this interesting article, that describes an old, hidden feature.

Tikal's recent experience with open source business intelligence, data analysis and report generation tools such as Pentaho CE and many others had proven that the tools are efficient, simple, flexible, scalable, reliable and as free as Linux or Apache.

Google wave is (apparently) Google's biggest 'flop' and will probably close down by the end of the year.

Quoted from NT Times website Aug 9th 2010:

 

"On Wednesday, Google said that it would stop developing Wave as a standalone product and that the Web site could be shuttered by the end of the year.

 

The technology will remain available if people want to develop new tools with it. Despite having ''numerous loyal fans, Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked,'' Urs Holzle, senior vice president of operations at Google, wrote in a company blog post. "

Here are 2 useful links which explain this feature and have some examples:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/Continuations
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Continuations : see How it works section.

I use the eclipse version org.eclipse.jetty --> jetty-continuation in one of my client's projects and find it a very useful, powerful and reliable.

You can manage: timeouts, suspending a request, completing implementations, resuming a request, initial phase, adding continuation listeners or just handling the requests in a simple servlet without listeners and only by checking isComplete,isInitial etc...

The API is more functional and there's also API for Scala.
