- Languages
- node.js - a server side Javascript framework based on Google's V8 Engine
- infoq article
- Langs summit - day 2, lots of language research!
- And now its time for a non-a-methodology-dology! The Oath of Non-Alleigance
- Hell Pizza - Hell Stupid.
- CSS - tagging only for testing purposes.
- The functionality doesn't need the CSS style, but finding it when you're testing is much easier if you give it a tag. Do you?
- GWT can do this with debugIds, which get stripped out, but Sky doesn't use them because they test something that isn't deployed. Is this part of Google doesn't get it, or a good idea?
- NIO and NNIO are dead. IO is back.
- Mailinator presentation is *very* interesting.

Thu, 29 July 2010 This is just a short announcement podcast to let people know that we've moved the Unsupported Operation news show/feed over to http://unsupportedoperation.blogspot.com.
This decision was made to keep the news separate from our rambling discussions and give you - the listeners freedom of choice in which shows you listen to. When we start posting our conference panel recordings they will also be on a separate feed over at http://classnotfoundtechcasts.blogspot.com.
Thanks - and see you over on both feeds.

Topics
- Swype: From the creator of the T9 predictive text for mobile phones comes Swype - a new innovative approach to entering text by simply swiping your finger over the keyboard rather than pressing keys.
- Web Services: Contract or Code first design?
- OpenJDK or Sun/Oracle JDK: For server side code, is OpenJDK acceptable?
- Java Web Hosting: Now that mor.ph is gone - what's out there for java hosting?
- JDK5 or JDK6: Do we care about one or the other on our hosting provider?
- Are Java Ruby developers returning to the JVM for clojure?: A lot of clojure talks at ruby conferences lately.
- Git User Interfaces: Do you use the command line, or a GUI tool?
- Using Selenium as a scripting tool: Madness or just good old kiwi ingenuity?
- Code Re-Review: How much is too much?
- Lazy Initialization: How to handle this in clojure? It's a pity I was talking about my a*se on this.

Unsupported Operation - Episode 3
Languages
Java
- Logback 0.9.24 is out. Logback is an implementation of a slf4j written by the same person as slf4j and is typically used through that API. Logback recently added supported for Groovy log configuring. You would use it instead of log4j. (yeah, definately! don't you want something that is fixed fast rather than on a slow release schedule? also see...)
- Apache PDF Box 1.2.0 released. Apache PDFBox is an open source Java library for working with PDF documents. Sounds somewhat similar to iText.
- HSQLDB had a major new release in June. Seems to be renamed "HyperSQL". (H2 also put out a minor release :-)
- Hazelcast 1.8.5 released - simple easy to use, yet powerful library for in-memory datagrids: distributed hashmaps, queues, lists etc.
- Apache Nutch 1.1 released - web search engine - built on top of Lucene and Solr, adds web crawlers, link graphs, parsers for HTML and other formats etc.
- JxCapture 2 out - never come across this before, but is a library for doing screen capture in java into image and video. Could be usefull for recording Selenium/WebDriver runs. (java.awt.Robot!)
Clojure
- Midge 0.1.1 - mocking framework for clojure from Brian Marrick
- Trammel is a new contracts library for clojure from Michael Fogus
- Radagast is a new test coverage tool for clojure from Phil Hagelberg, author of Leiningen
- Clojure for Beginners is a new book from Satish Talim - email satishtalim@gmail.com for a free copy
JavaFX
Groovy
- Griffon in Action new MEAP is out - chapters on integration and testing.
- Support for Groovy 1.7.3's new @InheritedConstructors landed in the IntelliJ IDEA Community git repository this week. It's a 600mb checkout if you want to pull it out and compile it yourself...
Scala
- David Pollack the creator of Liftweb has an interview on twit.tv
- David Pollack and others have started Fresh Scala, read about it at dzone. From the article " The Fresh Scala Initiative aims to address the issue of version fragility in the ecosystem." basically it is building common projects against Scala 2.8 to ensure binary compatibility.
Tools and Frameworks
Web Frameworks
- Jersey 1.3 now in Maven - requires SE6 - Reference Implementation for building RESTful Web services
- ZK 5.0.3 Released - RIA web framework, session/server side based, code in java, views/forms/windows written in an XML dialect with custom XML elements for components. Nice framework, but havn't used it beyond a simple "Hello World" app.
- Apache Tiles 2.2.2 GA is now released - modular view framework, new: Freemarker and Velocity support, OGNL and MVEL support
Tools
- Sonar/Maven gets a new plugin to track memory usage during testing. memtracker. (Shame it's tied to Maven)
- SmartGit 1.5.4 released - java/swing based Git GUI client, from Syntevo - the makers of SmartCVS and SmartSVN.
- IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.3 RC2 out - download / release notes (noticed auto-completion and importing is poor in current Community Edition. Also: Bookmarks: 9.0.2!)
- Amazon SQS has amusing new pricing (first 100,000 messages are free. 10c for each subsequent 100,000 messages). Also larger message sizes and retention periods.
- Stax has released their pricing. Stax offers PaaS (Platform as a Service ) for java applications, drop a war in and go. (on EC2)
Application Servers
- Eclipse Gemini Web Milestone released along with Eclipse Gemini Blueprint Milestone, two component of the new OSGi 4.2 "enterprise" standard, Web providers a web container that allows you to deploy .war files directly as OSGi bundles, previously there was just the HTTPService which gave you servlet capabilities. Blueprint builds on Spring Dynamic Modules to give better DI/IoC of OSGi services.
Android
Books
- Driving Technical Change - new Progprog EAP edition out. (Why People On Your Team Don't Act On Good Ideas, and How to Convince Them They Should)

Unsupported Operation - Episode 2
Recorded Sunday After CITCON with Mark and John Hurst.
Corrections
- H2 is in fact a complete rewrite of Hypersonic
- Apologies to Robert fletcher, RV meant Robert Fischer (regards WTF license).
Tools
- Universal Plugin Manager - *yay* having autoupdating plugins in Jira finally would be nice. It was always a pain to manually do.
- GateIN 3.1 Released - This is the merger of eXo and JBoss Portal Server.
- NPanday 1.2 Released - Again, not Java but Java related - NPanday is a set of Maven plugins for working with .NET projects, and a Visual Studio plugin for keeping pom.xml/solution project files in sync.
- First public release of Infinite Graph now available - from Objectivity/db - new Graph Database with distributed capabilities.
Frameworks
- Alex Ruiz has posted FEST-Swing 1.2.1 to the Codehaus Maven Repository (which syncs to central). This is a "for maven users" only release.
- Jspresso 3.5 is out - Jspresso is a free and opensource framework to build server-centric, multi-ui RIAs. The 3.5.0 version introduces a new Groovy-based DSL, an Eclipse plugin and the support for qooxdoo UI among lots of other improvements.
Clojure
- New MEAP edition of Clojure in Action available, adds Chapter 9 on Storage and clj-record, an Active Record framework for clojure.
Scala
- Scala 2.8.0 RC6 is out ( 19th, so last week )
Android
- Red Hat launches hybrid cloud platform - Red Hat has launched a comprehensive package, called Red Hat Cloud Foundations, that will allow organizations to run applications in both public clouds and their own private clouds.

Mon, 21 June 2010
Topics
- Farewell Google Collections - Welcome Google Guava. Guava release 05 is out and in maven central.
- Spring Tool Suite 3.0.3 is out - more than 100 bug fixes. Spring still suffers from no separation of api from implementation and so each dependency is bloated with implementations for libraries you will never use. Yay.
- Eclipse 3.6 due for release June 23rd (US) - Helios.
- Ability to export more options as you agree on them as a team
- Lots of fixes in the editor
- Mark released clojure-maven-plugin 1.3.3 this week, minor fixes, 1.3.4 should be out soon fixing some other minor things discovered
- Groovy 1.7.3 released - mr haki as usual goes through whats in 1.7.3, hilights include @InheritedConstructor, some new methods on dates, extra facilities around string handling
- GContracts 1.1 - a framework for design by contract that uses Groovy AST and annotations to take contracts and insert asserts that fulfill them into your method bodies. It currently supports both pre and post conditions and condition inheritance.
- Spock 0.4- bring on the mocking. Spock is a Groovy based Unit testing DSL which really ramps up the use of the AST in Groovy to make testing expressive. RV: also makes it look way too perl like for my reading.
- Breaks a lot of plugins - new version of enclojure will be out shortly for clojure fans
