The full specification document will only be finished after august, so for the time being, I have taken the incomplete document offline.
In regards to other issues, some ideas have been planeed for the next release, but we are now looking for ways to fund the project.
Until the next update, cyas!
The last release of Neodatis, now on version 1.9, fixed the issues found on REST Server 0.50.07 due to changes in the jtActions.
Now its working fine and so version 0.50.07 is back in with the most recent Neodatis object database version!
Thanks Olivier !
A few changes introduced in 0.50.07 on the jtActions used by the model driven applications are not being processed correctly by Neodatis.
Until this issue is fixed, use 0.50.00.
Google App engine is adding Java as a supported language!
Google is launching an eclipse plugin, support for APIs such as JDO and JPA, among others.
UI can be developed in plain servlets, JSP, GWT and others.
Also, there is support for Groovy, but Grails still needs work.
Unfortunately there is only room for 10 000 developers to test these new features as Google is still ironing things out.
Probably that limit has been reached already, so all we can do now is test locally with the Eclipse App Engine plugin.
First thing I did was to test locally a simple Echo3 app and it works!
I hope this means that Echo3 will be supported when the app is really deployed. I just can’t wait to test more.
Finally free Java hosting for the masses !

A new version was uploaded for the REST Server. This fixes a date issue where the date converter was storing the date on the minutes and hours instead of the day and month fields. This has been fixed, as well as a few more bugs.
What better way to learn a new language than to create a very simple game with it ? This Lunar Landing game is very basic, and it uses Phys2D for the calculations. Yes, it’s overkill, but I wanted to learn how to use the Phys2D library, as in the rolling eggs example.
So I took the chance to learn JavaFX and Phys2D at the same time. The result is a very simple game where you control the ship via cursor keys. The goal is to land in the red landing pad within safety parameters of speed and orientation of the ship. And before the fuel rans out. Left and right rotate the ship, up and down apply thrusters.
There are no animations, or explosions, or anything like that. This was to learn the basics of JFX.
The ship was drawn in inkscape following the description of my nephew. The game was developed in Netbeans 6.5 on an Asus EEE 1000H.
You can launch the game via Java Web start through the following link:
Or you can see the game in the browser in this page.
The source code is available here.
I want to present some relevant observations about what i learned while developing this very basic game :
Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy new year for everyone !!!! Enjoy your vacations !!!
I am developing a very small and simple application with JavaFX as the front end for a backend implemented in my REST Server. It will be a proof-of-concept usage of the Tabula framework. Also I will take this opportunity to learn JavaFX.
I hope to have it relased in a month or so. Unfortunately, I will be very busy in the coming weeks, so can’t really finish it faster.
The source code for app will also be made available when released.
Finally. I have been waiting for this relase for a long, long time. It’s a great time to be a Java developer and JavaFX came to spice things up a bit.
Let’s start with the negative impressions:
I haven’t posted much these last few months since I had to finish my Master thesis. It’s all done and shipped now so I have a little bit more free time.
I want to clarify were things are headed right now with this project. I plan to keep developing and using this framework, as I find it quite usefull, easy and quick to develop with. So I have a preliminary plan for the official 1.0 version. Many things will be streamlined and enhanced, two more GUI tools will be available and overall I think applications will be even easier to develop with.
It might be possible to release a stable 1.0 sometime 2009, but i make no promsises. It all depends on the real life issues.
