Both specifications, JSR 286 and JSR 283, started their public review period just recently. Just go here and here to download the specifications of the Portlet-API 2.0 and the Content Repository for Java Technology API Version 2.0 for review.

In the meantime, we managed to get parts of Apache Felix out of the door as a final 1.0.0 release. I think the Felix project progressed very very well and it’s a nice and stable OSGi implementation. So check it out!

Finally I managed to update my weblog – yes, I know, these are the things everyone is really interested in…
Now as reported my Movable Type installation stopped working and updating it did not success, so I installed WordPress. Today I updated this installation to the latest version within minutes: a nice uptodate documentation on the various steps, some simple extract/copy commands and that’s it. So this is how I would expect it from every blog tool….

Without any news announcement, we were finally able to release an updated version of Excalibur SourceResolver. The new version 2.2.3 fixes a bug which made the 2.2.2 unusable. Compared to 2.2.1 it’s a minor bug fix release and everyone using an older version should update to this latest one.
My todo list still contains plans to make the sourceresolver work with plain url components, which would allow you to add your custom protocol and make it usable by just using “plain old java”: java.net.URL. This would also make the integration into an OSGi environment easier…unfortunately it’s not that high on my current list…
