Looks like it got corrupted somewhere. I've re-uploaded it.

I'm so thrilled that you guys like the plugin and the video, and its great
that you're going to use it in your sessions. I really hope your sessions go
well, please do tell us how it goes!

You're right. I was thinking changing it to just "OpenEJB 3" would probably
be best - it uses whatever client jars are in your server installation, so
it should work with any 3.x.x version.

As David has already mentioned, the software I used is called ScreenFlow (
http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm), and as long as we say
that we used ScreenFlow to create our screencasts, they have agreed that we
can use it for free. I hadn't used it before, but I was really impressed
with it. The site hosting the video is Vimeo, which again, I've not come
across before, but seems to do an excellent job of taking the .mov file
ScreenFlow produces, and seems to embed really well in the blog. Again, we
have an OpenEJB account, and either myself or David can let you have the
details.
In terms of the process itself, the actual screencast was recorded as one
complete video, I didn't do little sections and stitch them together or
anything like that. The only editing I did after recording was to add the
various zooms and mouse cursor highlights, which are nifty features of
ScreenFlow.
The actual recording itself took about 10 attempts, because I messed various
things up (and once my wife interupted asking where the cup of tea I
promised her was...) - I don't know if there's a feature to edit things like
that, I just found it easier to start again.
I think I got lucky with the sound, its not something I paid to much
attention to when I was recording it. I was an Intel iMac, just using the
built in microphone above the screen. I think there's something in
ScreenFlow to get the volume correct doing some kind of sound check before
recording the video - I actually recorded it a while back, so I can't
remember. The only problem I really had was trying not saying 'er' and 'um',
which I now realise is something I do a lot :) - by the time I was on the
10th go I had got a bit better.
I later discovered you can also video yourself while recording the
screencast, so next time I make one, I'll add that as well.

FYI, Jon, I love the video!
You even show some debugging in there which is really cool!

ScreenFlow. They were nice enough to supply us with a license for
free as long as we have a "Created by ScreenFlow" link on the same
page as our videos. It's mac only.
Let me know if you want the key. For OpenEJB use only, obviously.

Hey Jacek
We integrated OpenEJB with OWB at some degree. Maybe you want to include
some demos in your presenetations :)
For samples, you could get them from
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/openwebbeans/trunk/samples/ -->
ejb-sample, ejb-telephone

That's indeed a very useful screencast and I'm going to combine it
with the work around OSGi if you don't mind for the upcoming Eclipse
DemoCamp sessions in Poland (Warszawa and Wroclaw). I'm going to show
what it is to work with EJBs with the OpenEJB Eclipse plugin (the
Eclipse part plus OpenEJB/EJB3) and then show how to move on running
exactly the same EJB as a bundle and look it up from another one (with
Eclipse Equinox). It's gonna be a killer session! :) Thanks Jonathan.
Two things I'd like to get corrected at some point:
1. The version of OpenEJB provided by the plugin is 3.0.0. That's what
it shows up in the project libraries. I'm pretty sure people will ask
about it and why it's not 3.1.2 or 3.1.1 at the very least.
2. The ejb-jar.xml file was discussed and I'd change the wording to
say it's not necessary at all and explain why it is in the project. It
boosts the search for EJBs in the classpath and otherwise would
require changes to the way OpenEJB searches it (with include/exclude
env properties).
Could you also describe the recording process? What tools did you use?
I'm going to record some presentations myself and don't know what
tooling I'll have to use for it. I've been told that audacity is to
correct a sound, but what about the really useful white circle you
used in your screencast to draw attention? Did you just record it all
at once without any adjustments to the sound and video. It ended up
really awesome and you kept your voice on a proper level which made
watching the screencast very pleasant. I'd love doing alike with my
first screencast. Share as much tips and tricks as possible.

Re: [RESULTS] Release OpenEJB Eclipse Plugin 1.0.0.alpha

Hi All,
I have published the artifacts for the release. The plugin can be downloaded
from:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/openejb/eclipse-plugin/openejb-eclipse-plugin-1.0.0.alpha-deployable.zipand
the update site is:
http://www.apache.org/dist/openejb/eclipse-plugin/update-site/
I have made a change to site.xml to add a mirror url (added 'mirrorsURL="
http://openejb.apache.org/eclipse/openejb-eclipse-update--xml.cgi"' to the
<site> node) to try and get Eclipse to use the mirrors rather than
www.apache.org. I'm not sure if this requires a re-vote - if people feel it
does, I'm happy to reverse this and recreate the binaries again.
The CGI file referenced in the mirrorsURL above is a script that lists the
Apache mirrors, and seems to be the Apache standard way of doing this (the
Geronimo plugin does it in the same way) - I found some documentation here:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasing-eclipse-update-site.html
The CGI file is here:
http://openejb.apache.org/eclipse/openejb-eclipse-update--xml.cgi and it has
a HTML template here:
http://openejb.apache.org/eclipse/openejb-eclipse-update--xml.html.
Hopefully this ok - please let me know if there's any problem. If it is ok,
I'll write up a short announcement for the blog and website.
Cheers,
Jon
