sports additional support for OSX in the form of a 'native' menu structure.

lots of other cool features/bug fixes too

Wait till my download finishes before going to get yours :-)

For those not on the Apple Java Mailing list who have upgraded to Panther and are seeing 3 Eclipse 3.0 M2-4 Icon's on the doc, Andre Weinand has posted a patch to fix it. Now I only get one bouncing icon :-).

I had no problems, your mileage may varry. It only works on Panther so don't install until you upgrade.

The great folks at Java Ranch are doing a book promo for the J2EE AntiPatterns book this week.
I'll be online checking and responding to messages. They will be drawing names from the list of posters to give away copies of the book.

Hope to see you there!

Well I finally upgraded to Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) last night since my presentations at No Fluff were finally over and I felt like I could aford the hit of potentiall nothing working. Since several people I've talked to have had very easy transistions I figured it would be no problem.

Well turns out that there are several problems, so far

• Emacs.app won't run one or two bounces and then nothing
• Eclipse 2.1.2 won't run on the 1.4.1 JDK, runs OK on the 1.3.1 though so I've switched back

Thankfully I found the following binary Emacs for Panther that seems to be working just fine.
Other impressions

• So far I like the new finder
• Seems faster
• Terminal app starts almost instantly
• The new iChat is very cool!

Now back to work. I'll post more later as I get into working with Panther.

I had a great time meeting up with the Denver based technorati at the No Fluff shindig.
As promised (a bit late though) here is the latest drop of the code for the J2EE AntiPatterns presentation. The code finally has DBUnit integrated along with the majortity of the refactorings completed.
Can't wait for next year's tour!

I just finished uploading my J2EE Presentation updated for the Northern Virginia No Fluff Just Stuff Symposium.

I put the code here

If you have previously downloaded the NoFluffJ2EE.zip code you want to grab the new stuff as it has both examples in it.

This example also lacks DBUnit. When I finally get it integrated (hopefully on the plane ride this morning) I'll repost.

Well I finally updated my JSF Presentation for the Arlington VA No Fluff event. (It will probably take about 30 minutes for it to upload to my .mac account, so try around 11:00 MST 11/07/2003)

Very cool stuff, hope to see you there.

I also uploaded the code for the presentation to here for the impatient, I want to get DBUnit integrated into the build soon. When I do I'll repost.

To get JBoss 3.2.x to log SQL I did the following

Add this to the log4j.xml file in my server's conf directory

  <category name="org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc">
     <priority value="DEBUG"/>
  </category>

Changed the threashold for logging to the console to 'DEBUG', like this.

      <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>

In the appender named 'Console' near the top of the log4j.xml file for me.

I have finished a small example of how to do security in JBoss 3.2.x.
You can download the code here.
The code will be part of my No Fluff Just Stuff presentations in Virgina next weekend. Hope to see you there.

Well the Colorado Software Summit is over, how dissapointing.

I've posted a summary of everything I did on my java.net blog.
Enjoy.
