SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer talks to InfoQ about AspectJ. The interview explores how products such as Spring Roo are using AspectJ, and how ideas from AspectJ helped SpringSource improve the Groovy compiler inside Eclipse. Colyer also discusses SpringSource's two server offerings, dm Server and tc Server, OSGi and Scrum.
This weekend, the Eclipse Foundation released their 3.6M5 of their namesake platform, including the Java IDE for which it has become synonymous. The 3.6 stream, also known as “Helios”, is due to be released in Summer this year; however, the M5 release is likely to be the last feature complete release with the remainder being bug fixes and optimisations.
A lot has happened since the last Bundle.update. SpringSource dm Server becomes an EPL project at Eclipse; a new book on OSGi and Equinox has been published; the OSGi Enterprise Expert Group is nearing completion; WebSphere has released an alpha based on Apache Aries; Maven Tycho is being used at Eclipse; Nimble facilitates OSGi runtimes, and ECF Remote Services are now complete.
The fourth of the Modular Java series covers declarative modularity. It describes how components can be declaratively defined and wired together, without having a code dependency on OSGi APIs. Declarative services will be used to write POJOs together dynamically, such that code no longer needs to explicitly register or consume OSGi services, and without any start ordering dependencies.
Porting great infrastructure to OSGi often means solving complex classloading problems. This article is dedicated to the frameworks that face the hardest issues in this area: those that do dynamic code generation. Incidentally these are also the coolest frameworks: AOP wrappers, ORM mappers, and service proxy generators are just a few examples.
Neil Bartlett presents OSGi to Java developers: an introduction to OSGi – the standard module system for Java -, infrastructure projects using OSGi, the partial failure of OOP, the benefits of using COP – Component Oriented Programming – and how to implement components, including a demo.
In this presentation recorded at QCon SF 2008, Rod Johnson, the father of Spring, introduces the SpringSource dm Server by taking a high-level look at it, trying to clear up some misconceptions about what dm Server is, and showing how the configuration, logging and application installation work.
In this interview from QCon San Francisco 2008, Ross Mason discusses Mule, the role of an ESB, Enterprise Edition versus Community Edition, monitoring and MuleHQ, REST support, cloud-based deployments, Galaxy, governance, Mule integrations, community interaction via MuleForge, and the impact of the current recession upon open source software.
In this interview made by InfoQ’s Srini Penchikala, Rob Harrop talks about SpringSource dm Server, its OSGi based modularity and the advantages it offers. He also touches other adjacent topics like support for Java EE6, cloud computing, JMX, and others.
