The final agenda for the com­bined JAX 2011 con­fer­ence and JSF Summit (June 20–23 in San Jose, CA) is now on­line. This is the place for in-​​depth cov­erage of the im­por­tant topics in JSF and also the en­tire Java ecosystem. Exadel will be out on the ex­hibit floor on Tuesday and Wednesday to talk to people, and Exadel’s very own Max Katz will be pre­senting on:

JSFdays started out in 2008 as an an­nual in­ter­na­tional con­fer­ence held in Vienna, Austria cov­ering JavaServer Faces (JSF) and re­lated tech­nolo­gies. The “re­lated tech­nolo­gies” part has grown in im­por­tance, so the or­ga­nizers fig­ured it was time for a new name. Starting with this year’s con­fer­ence run­ning from April 12 to April 14, it will be called the Confer­ence For Enter­prise Soft­ware Solu­tions or CONFESS.

Whatever the name, Exadel’s Max Katz will be there to present as he has every year since it started in 2008. Here’s his schedule at the con­fer­ence: Read more »

The time has come to fi­nally pull the plug on our hosting of legacy ver­sions of Exadel Studio. It’s been 3 years since we turned Exadel Studio over to Red Hat/​JBoss. Over that time, we have kept some legacy ver­sions avail­able for de­vel­opers who didn’t want to use the later ver­sions of Eclipse re­quired for the newer suc­ces­sors to Exadel Studio.

If you’ve been checking our open source site, ex​adel​.org, you will have no­ticed that we re­cently up­dated Exadel JavaFX Plug-​​in for Eclipse to a new ver­sion, 1.3. With this re­lease, there is now Eclipse sup­port for the latest (April 2010) re­lease of JavaFX, co­in­ci­den­tally enough, also ver­sion 1.3.

Once you’ve used the built-​​in Eclipse plug-​​in up­date fa­cility to up­date or you’ve down­loaded and in­stalled the plug-​​in, it’s pretty straight­for­ward to start tap­ping into JavaFX 1.3. After up­dating or in­stalling the plug-​​in (and down­loading the JavaFX 1.3 SDK, of course), se­lect Window/​Preferences/​JavaFX/​Installed JavaFX Runtimes from the menu bar and check the 1.3 ver­sion for JavaFX. (However, you can still use JavaFX 1.2.x with the new plug-​​in, if you have it and want to use it.) In this re­lease of the plug-​​in, you have to com­plete things by restarting Eclipse, but in the next re­lease of the plug-​​in you won’t have to.

I was ex­cited to at­tend this year’s EclipseCon on Wednesday (March 24) in Santa Clara, California. I had come out for the day from our nearby Concord of­fice to take part in a panel ti­tled “Benefiting from the Business Ecosystem Around BIRT: Case Studies and Resources” put on by our part­ners, Actuate, the people be­hind BIRT.

TheServerSide is hosting an­other Java Symposium this year. It will run from March 17 to March 19 in Las Vegas. Of course, you knew this al­ready from reg­u­larly checking our cal­endar. (Our cal­endar would also show that Exadel’s Max Katz will be doing 2 sessions.)

As the TheServerSide points out, it’s during dif­fi­cult tur­bu­lent times that these sorts of information-​​sharing events be­come so im­por­tant for developers–at the same time re­sources to at­tend events is much tighter. We can help a little by of­fering our dis­count code. To re­deem this spe­cial offer, reg­ister on­line with the code FRIENDOFSPKR and you’ll au­to­mat­i­cally save $200. (Yes, you can still reg­ister.) Read more »
