Our company is looking at using Sharepoint to manage the documents that are created by several different groups in the organization.  We are now going to have to access these documents from our Java applications.

Doing a number of searches have gotten no hits on any existing Java library.   So, I have successfully built a proof of concept for accessing Sharepoint using Axis2.

Before I go any further though:

• Is there a Java open-source library available?
• Are others having this problem as well?

The final release of the 1.7 codebase has been tested and ready to go.

CC-Config is a configuration and monitoring tool for Cruisecontrol which is written using Java(tm) Swing.

Changes are all on the Monitoring side for the single view of all servers:
* Fix server restart detection.
* Handle restart of single server.
* Better handling of updates for a single server.
* Server status indicator(s) added to panel that displays all servers.
* Checkbox menu items so you can tell which is the active view.

The 1.8 development will focus on the configuration side of things.

I have deployed the last build of the 1.6 releases. This release focused on fixing bugs found in previous builds.

CC-Config is a configuration and monitoring tool for Cruisecontrol which is written using Java(tm) Swing.

Larger changes include:

• A pre-built binary version of the tool that can be used as a standalone swing application without having to build on your own.

Ran across this site a while back and there was an article on the Wisconsin Technology Network site. Bar Camp is a weekend of technology discussions with other geeks.

I will have to try to make it over and see what the ruckus is about.

I was reading this article on Continuous Inspection, it is definately the direction I was talking about in my post on Introducing Continous Integration. I have seen more and more hype around building these types of reports as part of your continous build environment. It will be interesting to see what product(s) evolve from this type of reporting.

I got an upgrade of firefox to 1.5.0.6 today. I then decided to see what new plugins there were. The featured plugin was
Performancing for Firefox | Performancing.com which is a blogger plugin that allows you to add blog posts directly from the plugin.

In this blog post John Reynolds’s Blog: Disconnected Browser-Centric Clients, John argues for disconnected web applictions. While I agree that a lot of the applications on the web are really useful when disconnected, I would argue that they should all be rich client applications that pull data from the web site via a “service”.

I am soooo sick of AJAX and everything has to run in a browser… Web architectures are sooo complicated and you have to figure out which fricking web framework/language to use.

I love my rich client applications! Maybe I am alone, but oh well.
