The Ganymede RC2 Packages are now available for testing. Ganymede is a short 3 weeks away, so the clock is ticking on testing out these packages. Also, thank you for all the feedback we have received on the new packaging site. There is still time for more comments but that...

Next week I will be traveling to Germany for two events: 1) the OSGi community event in Berlin and 2) a Marketing Stammtisch in Bensheim/Auerbach. The OSGi event has a great technical program and I am looking forward to meeting a lot of the people in the OSGi community. OSGi...

Hockey season is just about to finish, which mean Canadians are about to begin our second season: summer. Sys-con just published a pretty good interview with Mike Milinkovich to mark his 4th anniversary at the Foundation. Among discussions on Mike’s view of ‘Strategy as Ecology’ and ‘The Stackless Stack’, Mike...

In the past couple of weeks, I have noticed CIO.com is doing a great job highlighting and educating their readers on open source software. They just published the results of a reader survey about open source adoption in the enterprise which showed 53% are using open source today in their...

Voici le petit bout de code, très simple, qui permet de récupérer la version d’un plug-in. [sourcecode language=’java’] Activator.getDefault(). getBundle().getHeaders(). get(org.osgi.framework.Constants.BUNDLE_VERSION) ; [/sourcecode] Pour manipuler de manière un peu plus poussée ce numéro de version, la méthode org.osgi.framework.Version#parseVersion(String) est votre amie. Vous pourrez dès lors, sur l’objet Version que vous...

Just finishing up this years edition on JavaOne. Some thoughts… JavaFX was definitely the main message from Sun. The Sun keynote was full of JavaFX demos showing spinning pictures. It reminded me of 1998 spinning Java logos in applets. Sun appears to want to go head to head with Adobe...
