Unfortunate first major release under Oracle stewardship.

jclouds is an api for concurrent access to cloud services such as Amazon Web Services. Initially we support Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). In the future, we will support other amazon web services, as well other service providers.

Lucene is an Open Source, mature and high-performance Java search engine. It is highly flexible, and scalable from hundreds to millions of documents. Luke is a handy development and diagnostic tool, which accesses already existing Lucene indexes and allows you to display and modify their content in several ways: * browse by document number, or by term * view documents / copy to clipboard * retrieve a ranked list of most frequent terms * execute a search, and browse the results * analyze search results * selectively delete documents from the index * reconstruct the original document fields, edit them and re-insert to the index * optimize indexes * and much more... Recent versions of Luke are also extensible through plugins and scripting. I started this project because I needed a tool like this. I decided to distribute it under Open Source license to express my gratitude to the Lucene team for creating such a high-quality product. Lucene is one of the landmark proofs that Open Source paradigm can result in high-quality and free products.

Recently I decided to get up to speed on at least one rich client platform for a project we had. Over the years I had come across references to Eclipses RCP and Netbeans RCP so I started with those two.

I discovered this link while searching how classpath works in java , this link is good not only explains how to setup classpath in windows and linux but also helps to understand classpath working mechanism in java.

Offers simpler, yet more powerful authentication and authorization for Java EE applications.

HttpClient Cache provides an HTTP/1.1-compliant caching layer to be used with HttpClient--the Java equivalent of a browser cache. The implementation follows the Decorator design pattern, where the CachingHttpClient class is a drop-in replacement for a DefaultHttpClient; requests that can be satisfied entirely from the cache will not result in actual origin requests. Stale cache entries are automatically validated with the origin where possible, using conditional GETs and the If-Modified-Since and/or If-None-Match request headers. HTTP/1.1 caching in general is designed to be semantically transparent; that is, a cache should not change the meaning of the request-response exchange between client and server. As such, it should be safe to drop a CachingHttpClient into an existing compliant client-server relationship. Although the caching module is part of the client from an HTTP protocol point of view, the implementation aims to be compatible with the requirements placed on a transparent caching proxy. Finally, CachingHttpClient includes support the Cache-Control extensions specified by RFC 5861 (stale-if-error and stale-while-revalidate).

" The primary purpose of the JcrCollectionAdapter class is to equip a stand-alone Atom server with a JCR repository for storage. However, with a bit of tweaking the class can also be used to provide an Atom interface to an existing CRX repository: a simple way to get things running is to leave the existing CRX Quickstart untouched and connect to the repository through RMI. RMI is disabled by default, but on CRX's Knowledge Base is an article how to enable it. "

"The NetKernel Resource Oriented Computing (ROC) platform separates architecture from code. With ROC you can compose your architectural design independently from implementation code. By keeping the details of code separate from high-level information architecture you gain: freedom of choice in implementation language rapid click-fit compositional development long-term evolvable solutions Threading and scheduling is managed by the microkernel so your code execution is efficiently optimised with linear scaling on multi-core without the need to learn new languages. Something brand-new also comes from separating architecture and code. NetKernel provides system-wide caching of every area of your system. For free. No configuration. NetKernel learns what information is reusable and reuses it. This makes NetKernel systems fast. Very fast."

"Texo provides JPA annotations, model and template driven development technology powered by EMF for web application (WAR) development projects. Texo uses components currently present in the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) projects. Texo is a proposed open source component in the Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project. "

"So, we are going to look at a restful webservice that is going to generate XML. As you might know, we have the perfect JSR specification for that in the form of JAXB. The needed libraries are already available in Netbeans 6.8. And as you might have guessed, returning JAXB objects from a JAX-RS method is going to integrate naturally and take some strain from our shoulders. No need to marshal and unmarshal by ourself. "

This article is about how to setup remote debugging in eclipse which is pretty important for development across operating system.

"This page describes how you can get an extended WADL from your REST app. It aligns mostly with the extended-wadl-webapp sample and uses these features: Add additional doc tags to the WADL Create JAXB beans from xsd - you might also create the schema from your beans Add the grammars element that includes the xsd file from which JAXB beans were generated to the WADL Add javadoc from your resource classes to the WADL, using most of the supported javadoc tags For getting the extended WADL as described above these things have to be done: Configure the maven-jaxb-plugin to create JAXB beans from xsd - this is described here just to describe what's done in the sample. Add the application-doc.xml and application-grammars.xml to the build classpath Configure the maven-javadoc-plugin with the ResourceDoclet provided by the wadl-resourcedoc-doclet artifact to create the resource-doc.xml. Create a subclass of WadlGeneratorConfig that defines/configures the WadlGenerators to use Specify your custom WadlGeneratorConfig in the web.xml as the WadlGeneratorConfig"

When creating a REST api with Java EE 6 and JAX-RS there comes the time when you start thinking about security. In our case we were trying to set up HTTP Basic Auth for the REST api to identify users and keep them from deleting other peoples stuff. It took me a while to understand the different aspects of configuring HTTP Basic Auth when using GlassFish:

Quartz is a full-featured, open source job scheduling service that can be integrated with, or used along side virtually any Java EE or Java SE application - from the smallest stand-alone application to the largest e-commerce system. Quartz can be used to create simple or complex schedules for executing tens, hundreds, or even tens-of-thousands of jobs; jobs whose tasks are defined as standard Java components that may execute virtually anything you may program them to do. The Quartz Scheduler includes many enterprise-class features, such as JTA transactions and clustering. Quartz is freely usable, licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

"This Tech Tip presents some of the features of inheritance supported in the Java Persistence API. A sample package accompanies the Tech Tip. It demonstrates some of the features discussed in the tip. The examples in the tip are taken from the source code for the sample (which is included in the package). The sample uses an open source reference implementation of Java EE 5 called GlassFish. You can download GlassFish from the GlassFish Community Downloads page."

The objective of Eclipse Scout is to substantially reduce the development time needed for SOA and Java-conforming business software. Scout includes: an application model, a reference implementation, proven development functions and a comprehensive tool: the Scout SDK.
