BEA ready to lock down Workshop 10.1 code
690381
(InfoWorld) - BEA Systems will lock down the code for Workshop 10.1 this Friday in preparation for the Java development tool's release next month. "It leaves the shop Friday," said Bill Roth, the vice president of BEA's Workshop Division. "It's done." Workshop 10.1 is slated for release during the week after July 4, most likely hitting the Web July 12, he said. Announced in May, Workshop 10.1 aims to give developers a tool to develop Java applications using both commercial and open-source frameworks. The new tool combines Workshop for WebLogic with Workshop Studio, formerly called Nitrox, an Eclipse-based tool BEA acquired through its purchase of middleware company M7 in 2005. "It used to be that we literally had two separate code bases. The Studio stuff was different from the main Workshop line," Roth said. Bringing these tools together in a "blended" product will allow developers to more easily mix and match commercial and open-source frameworks when building their applications, he said. Workshop 10.1 is one of several products that BEA will ship in July. AquaLogic Pages, AquaLogic Ensemble, and AquaLogic Pathways, a set of tools to create collaborative applications with features such as tagging, wikis, and RSS feeds, are set to ship this month. BEA's WebLogic Server Virtual Edition, a tool that allows Java applications to run on a virtualization server without an operating system, is also scheduled to ship this month.

buildbot-0.7.5 is now available. The BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. It builds and tests the tree each time a change is committed, providing status updates through a web page or other protocols. Please visit http://buildbot.sf.net for more details.   This release features new support for Monotone and Tinderbox, and adds an SVN repository poller, new BuildSteps to transfer files between master and slave, and multi-owner Locks. Builder reconfiguration is now far less destructive than before, and the useful portions of the logfile are displayed as output of the reconfig/restart command. All buildsteps have been renamed and reorganized, and of course a number of bugs have been fixed.

OpenWFE is an open source java workflow engine. It is a complete Business Process Management suite, with 4 components : an engine, a worklist, a webclient and a reactor (host for automatic agents). It can also be used behind the scene. OpenWFE 1.4.1 is a bug fix release. One important concept was introduced for stores : the order in which they are instantiated in the worklist configuration file is now the order in which they are asked if they accept a workitem for a given participant name.   The first store to accept (by name pattern matching) a workitem 'wins' it.  The default store is not 'Store.default' anymore, it is now the last declared store. To follow this scheme, the example Store.default has been moved at the end of the release store declarations.

(InfoWorld) - BEA Systems on Monday is launching its BEA Workshop Studio 3.3 developer tools platform, featuring Web Folder Mapping. Although the platform upgrade is considered minor by BEA, the company is highlighting Web Folder Mapping. This feature allows developers to assemble source files in a folder organization that matches the needs of a development team, not in a structure required by the server or IDE, said Bill Roth, vice president of the Workshop group at BEA. The same feature is known as "split development directory" in BEA's WebLogic Server application server. Productivity is key to version 3.3. "The simple read is that this is an update that will better allow companies who have large development staffs and are working on large code bases to be more productive," Roth said in an e-mail. Other improvements in version 3.3 include: * Inclusion of the Eclipse Web Tools Platform 1.5.2, which is a bug fix release.Â  Formerly, Web Tools Project 1.5.1 was offered. * An upgrade from the the Kodo 4.0 persistence engine to Kodo 4.1. * Support for the Spring 2.0 Java framework. * Support for opening .tld and .tag files located in Java Archive files. * Minor bug fixes and general improvements.

(InfoWorld) - BEA Systems' planned next-generation application platform, called Project Genesis, will feature an open source component and accommodate scripting languages such as Ruby and Perl, BEA officials said at the BEAWorld San Francisco conference on Tuesday. Open source has been great for proliferating knowledge in the marketplace, said Alfred Chuang, BEA chairman, CEO, and president. In addition, he mentioned that development technologies will be open-sourced as part of Genesis and that BEA already offers open source technologies to the Eclipse Foundation. "We also believe that we likely have to be grooming and starting up a new community," he said. Genesis is intended to enable quick development of applications without requiring new infrastructure. It will feature tools that take collaboration, social tagging, and business process management and integrate them with existing enterprise applications. New sets of applications can be built, including mashups and composite applications as well as business processes. Wikis, blogs, and RSS feeds also are to be part of Genesis, said Rob Levy, CTO at BEA. The company announced Project Genesis earlier on Tuesday. Chuang, however, cautioned against going open source for the sake of going open source. "I think open source for open source's sake has been useless," Chuang said. "Some companies have taken multimillion lines of operating system code and open-sourced it," he said, critically. Although sometime-BEA rival Sun Microsystems did this with its Solaris OS, Chuang said his comment was not specifically targeted at Sun. Others have done this as well, he said. Genesis will support Java code as well as scripting languages, Chuang said. He cited scripting languages as an area where BEA historically has not had much involvement. A specific product plan for Genesis is set to be unveiled at the BEAWorld Shanghai conference in December. BEA officials stressed some components of Genesis, such as BEA's enterprise service bus technology, already exist. New products are to include a rules engine technology, as well as offerings for data manipulation and structured mapping. "Genesis is sort of where ultimately we want to take AquaLogic for this new generation of applications," Chuang said. AquaLogic is a BEA middleware platform. Genesis will support SaaS (software as a service) methodologies in that ISVs could use Genesis to build applications, which they could then offer via a SaaS format, Levy said.

As mentioned by the Zend Developer Zone, Ed Finkler has posted the latest version of his Inspekt security tool.   Although downloads have been on the Google Code site for a bit, I recently put up a new build of Inspekt. This could probably be described as a late alpha release, with most proposed features implemented.   Also included in this new edition are full API documentation for the application, some documentation on its basic usage and, of course, the source of this latest release.
