<h3>21 May 2002 - OpenORB Community Edition 1.3 Beta 1 Released</h3>
<p>After nearly 6 months of steady product improvement, rationalisation
and platform enhancement, the OpenORB community is proud to release
the first beta of the "Community OpenORB" product suite version 1.3.
Version 1.3 introduced significant enhancements based on the Jakarta
Avalon component framework - including configuration and context
management, ORB initialization and service logging.
All modules have been updated and brought into line with strict
coding standards, major enhancements to the logging framework
(including support for alternative logging mechanisms including
Log4J, JDK1.4 Logging, and Avalon Logkit), a complete revision
of the build systems with unification of the build structure
across all packages, and the introduction of docbook based
documentation. A complete list of changes per package is available
in the WHATSNEW file included with each module.
</p>
<p>Release 1.3 beta 1 available at<br />

<h3>24 May 2002 - OpenEJB 0.8 Beta 2 Released</h3>
<p>OpenEJB is an open source, modular, configurable, and extendable EJB
Container System and EJB Server.</p>
<p>An EJB Container System:<br />
OpenEJB is a pre-built, self-contained, portable EJB container system
and that can be plugged into any server environment including
application servers, CORBA ORBs, Web servers, databases, etc. For
example, OpenEJB is used in Apple computer's WebObjects.
</p>
<p>
An EJB Server:<br />
OpenEJB comes with fast, lightweight EJB Servers for both Local and
Remote access. That's right, deploy your EJBs into the container system,
then just start the Remote EJB Server from the command line! Or, put
OpenEJB in your class path and use it as an embedded library through the
Local EJB Server.
</p>
<p>Release 0.8 beta 2 available at<br />

<h3>23 May 2002 - JBoss Project posts the third release candidate for
JBoss 3.0.0</h3>
<p>The award winning <a href="http://www.jboss.org">JBoss Project</a>
just posted the third release candidate for JBoss 3.0.0.
</p>
<p>JBoss is an Open Source, standards-compliant, Enterprise JavaBeans
application server implemented in pure Java. JBoss provides
JBossServer, the basic EJB container and JMX infrastructure, JBossMQ
for JMS messaging, JBossMail for mail, JBossTX for JTA/JTS
transactions, JBossSX for JAAS based security, JBossCX for JCA
connectivity, and JBossCMP for CMP persistence. It integrates with
Tomcat Servlet/JSP container and Jetty Web server/servlet container,
and enables you to mix and match these components through JMX by
replacing any component you wish with a JMX-compliant implementation
for the same APIs. The goal is to provide a full J2EE stack in the
Free/Open Source software world.

<h3>9 May 2002 - Krysalis Centipede 1.0 beta2
Released - maven included</h3>
<p>
Krysalis Centipede is a project build system based on Apache Ant.<br />
It's made to be easy, extensible and powerful.
</p>
<p>
It's based on the CDC paradigm, that keeps focus on Community, Documentation
and Code.<br />
An example of a complete website and project using the latest Centipede is
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/">Apache POI</a> .
The site is updated automatically every 2 hours via a script.
</p>
<p>
This beta contains much more documentation, fixes coming from user feedback,
enhanced descriptors, and a target to create automatic descriptors' and
cents' documentation.
</p>
<p>
We have integrated the Maven docs generation and the Maven xref generation
using a cent, along with numerous bugfixes.
</p>
<p>
The docs are generated from the same Forrest DTD. This way users can decide
to switch in any moment, preventing vendor lock-in.
</p>
<p>
Major features:
<br />
<ul>
<li> multiple skin support (jakarta and xml.apache look-and-feel) </li>
<li> use of pre-packaged war style build plugins called "cents" </li>
<li> automatic download of cents using JJAR </li>
<li> ready for automatic site update from Gump runs </li>
<li> build target aliasing and description </li>
</ul>
<br />
Other changes:
<br />
<ul>
<li> new maven cent with docs and xref generation </li>
<li> new documentation - still growing </li>
<li> centipede.descriptor-docs target: generates docs on the descriptors and the cents installed </li>
</ul>
</p>

<h3>07 March 2002 - Enterprise Object Broker: EJB for mere mortals</h3>
<p>
Enterprise Object Broker (EOB) is an application server that tries to a
be a simpler EJB container. It is not complete yet, but we have many
demos showing local, remote, and webapp usage.
</p>
<p>
Take a look at
<a href="http://eob.sourceforge.net/">
http://eob.sourceforge.net/</a>
</p>
<p>
We are looking to add more demos, especially Jakarta ones. The best
candidates are WAR file apps with object models (hopefully
interface/impl separated) that can be moved out of the Servlet's
context. These also include EJB using webapps, but the EJB side would
have to be trimmed of the EJB 'noise' before being run in EOB.
</p>
<p>
As well as our need for more demos, we are interested in people to join
in the main development. Apache license of course.

<h3>5 March 2002 - Poolman developer retires</h3>
<p>
The developer of the popular Poolman connection pool has retired from
active work on the product. The current beta release was to include
pooling of PreparedStatments. While Poolman has a tremendous user
base, it has never attracted a developer community.
</p>
<p>
The current beta and prior stable releases are still available from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4899">
SourceForge</a>. If you are a Poolman user, you may wish to tuck away
a copy of the distribution archives for safekeeping.
</p>
<p>
From the CodeStudio site<br />
PoolMan is no longer available or supported through this site. It did exceedingly well during its
lifetime, and I appreciate the important role it played in so many distributed applications over the
past three years. If you are looking for connection and object pooling mechanisms, they can now
be found in application servers such as JRun, Tomcat and the Jakarta Project, and other J2EE
products and servers.
</p>
<p>
Poolman in the Commons?<br />

<h3>1 March 2002 - Simper 0.2: JDBC Persistence</h3>
<p>
Simper is a simple JDBC persistence mechanism for Java web apps. It features many
of the interesting features of EJB, such as automatic transaction demarcation (by way of
Servlet Filters), and automatic change detection of database rows (by way of
DynaBeans). Lastly, the notation by which you reference rows, as well as relations
between tables, is extremely JSP friendly.

<h3>8 February 2002 - JasperReports: Writing Complex Reports and PDF</h3>
<p>
Java based, XML enabled reporting tool that organizes data retrieved through
JDBC into a ready to print document, according to the template defined in a
XML file. The output can be delivered to the screen, printer, or stored in XML or
PDF file.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/">http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/</a>
</p>
<p>
JavaReports relies on a number of Jakarta technologies,including the
Commons-Digester. Status is alpha/pre-release.

<h3>15 January 2002 - dbForms releases version 1.0</h3>
<p>
DbForms enables developers to build sophisticated web-based database driven
applications in very short time and with very little effort. DbForms - applications are
built in a conceptually very similar manner to RAD - database building tools like Sybase
PowerSite (for web-based applications) or even Microsoft Access (for Windows-based
applications)
</p>
<p>
The philosophy behind DbForms could be described shortly as follows
</p>
<blockquote>
user places database components and action elements on templates, which get
executed at runtime
user is not required program anything (he/she just designs the app)
</blockquote>
<p>
<a href="http://dbforms.org/">http://dbforms.org/</a>
</p>
<p>
DbForms utilizes technology from the Jakarta-Commons and works well with
Jakarta Struts, and other Java Web application frameworks.
