Deployers in JBoss Microcontainer

September 17th, 2008

In order to deploy a Rails app, I’ve had to learn the innards of Microcontainer’s deployer framework.  After a few wrong turns, I feel like I’ve finally gotten a handle on it.
While we’re all used to dropping in an .ear or a .war, and might think in terms of deploying these archive formats, that’s ultimately [...]

JGroups impersonating memcached

September 4th, 2008

I woke up and noticed that a memcached mode was announced by Bela Ban, the fantastically Swiss man who jogs waaay too much.
There’s a lot of things in this world that can take advantage of memcached.  Personally, I find this quite interesting, considering that memcached tends to be the cache-of-choice for lots of non-Java languages.  [...]

Another JBoss GitHub repository mirror

August 30th, 2008

For those of you playing along at home, I’ve added jboss-deployers to my GitHub mirror set.  Like the others, the ‘vendor’ branch is the one you want.

jboss-deployers
jbossas
microcontainer
vfs

I’m adding JBoss projects to my mirror set as I trip across the need to browse their source.  If there’s a JBoss project you’d like to see mirrored out [...]

And now, something slightly different

August 28th, 2008

Back in May, I was a manager.
I feebly attempted to direct 8 great guys and gals to further the goals of JBoss.org.  After the Codehaus, you’d think I’d be able to help build an opensource community with fun and flair.  But I came to realize that it’s hard to build a community as an active [...]

GitHub Mirrors for some JBoss Projects

August 21st, 2008

In addition to the previously-mentioned JRuby mirror from Codehaus SVN to GitHub, I’m now also mirroring:

JBoss Microcontainer
JBoss AS5
JRuby

All are trunk-only mirrors, not picking up branches or tags. Since the JBoss repository path has about 77,000 subversion revisions, and at one point held any and all JBoss software ever written, I have not mirrored it [...]

Open positions at JBoss

April 24th, 2008

Francois, the guy who leads up the support group for JBoss, let us know that his excellent team is expanding even further. If you’ve got the chops to support customers, write tutorials, and maybe even fix some bugs, JBoss is looking for you.
Two different jobs are available.
There’s the SEG position:
Our JBoss Expertise Team consists [...]

JBoss.org is JBoss.org is JBoss.org

April 4th, 2008

Tonight, the fine folks on the JBoss.org team managed to reach a significant milestone. In fact, JBoss.org is now actually hosted at http://jboss.org/. Imagine that! We’d been satisfied living at http://labs.jboss.com/ for quite a while, so this is a nice change.

Additionally, http://wiki.jboss.org/ has been moved off the old Nukes wiki and onto [...]

Reminder: GSoc && JBoss

March 31st, 2008

Today is the day to make sure you’ve filed your GSoC application if you’re a student hoping to participate in this year’s Google Summer of Code.
We’ve got our ideas page up still, or feel free to invent some great project of your own related to JBoss. We’re open to new ideas.

Google Summer of Code and JBoss

March 19th, 2008

Google selected the combined Fedora+JBoss.org group as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2008.
The JBoss guys have started gathering project ideas. If you’re hoping to participate in the GSoC, take a look, and maybe you’ll see something that’ll inspire you.
If you’re a student, the GSoC is a great way to spend [...]

JBoss Round-Up

March 19th, 2008

Just a couple of quick notes:
Max and the JBoss Tools team have released version 2.01. What I personally find exciting is that this release sees bundles for OSX. The JBoss Tools project is what ultimately feeds into the JBoss Developer Studio, so you know it’s good stuff.
Also, Tom, Koen and the jBPM team (with [...]
