I’ll be speaking at the first ever JBoss Users & Developers Conference (JUDCon) on the 21st of June and at the JBoss World / Red Hat Summit (22nd – 25th of June), both being held in Boston (USA).

I’ve just upgraded to Wordpress 2.9 and one of the new features in this version is the ability to embed videos more easily. All you have to do is put the link to a site whose videos can be embed and that’s it!

!Update [Nov 13, 2009]: Infinispan 4.0.0.Beta2 based Hibernate second level cache provider now available in Hibernate 3.5 Beta2. However, neither Infinispan 4.0.0.Beta2 nor the Infinispan Cache Provider jar are available in the zip distribution. Instead, please download Infinispan 4.0.0.Beta2 from our download site and the Infinispan Cache Provider from our Maven repository.

I’ve just finished the development of an Infinispan 4.0 based Hibernate second level cache provider. This will be included from next Hibernate 3.5 release onwards but if you cannot wait and wanna play with it in the mean time, just checkout Hibernate trunk from our SVN repository and run ‘mvn install’. Documentation can be found in “Using Infinispan as JPA/Hibernate Second Level Cache Provider” wiki

Man, I’m so excited and I cannot hide it! I’ve finally managed to set up a JBoss Developer Studio environment where I can rebuild my own OpenJDK / IcedTea JDK and test changes to Java classes in rt.jar. With Max’s help, I’m baptising this new JDK as FreeTee. For those impatient, go to the Instructions [...]

I’m really pleased to announce version 1.0.1.GA of the JBoss Cache 1.4 series-based implementation of Hibernate’s 3.2 Second Level Cache provider SPI announced back in September. So, what’s new in this release? First of all, the standalone version of the cache provider, is now fully functional. Remember that this provider can be used both [...]

I’m really pleased to announce the 1.0.0.GA release of a new JBoss Cache 1.4 series-based implementation of Hibernate’s 3.2 Second Level Cache provider SPI. The Second Level Cache is a Hibernate feature that allows entities, collections and queries to be cached in memory beyond the scope of a transaction, reducing the number of trips [...]
