Travelling, and not Arriving

Wicket in the press

There’s a nice article on Wicket by Timothy M. O’Brien on OnJava; it is not interesting because Timothy is a Wicket expert (in fact, this is not the case), but because it is a sort of “first impression” of a guy who has come through the documentation and code samples. And, as we all know, [...]

First day with Mylar

Saturday Marcello pointed me to Mylar,

…. a task-focused UI for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA

Since we are using Jira and CVS, this morning I’ve installed [...]

Wicket-javaee moved to Wicket-Stuff

As I mentioned in the previous post, since someone has expressed his interest in my wicket-javaEE integration module, it has been moved to the Wicket-Stuff project.
So, the official SVN repository for this module is now:

https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicket-stuff/trunk/wicket-contrib-javaee

To checkout a fresh copy of the module, simply type

svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicket-stuff/trunk/wicket-contrib-javaee

At the moment, the documentation is still available here, where [...]

Java EE annotations support in Wicket

My latest passions (in IT terms, obviously ), are Java EE 5 and Wicket.The first, because it is really a huge simplification over the previous versions of J2EE, and offers a lot of new powerful functionalities to quickly build enterprise applications; the second, because it allows to create nice web pages also to server-side [...]

Todolist post-Javapolis

Every time I attend a great conference like Javapolis I end up writing a long todo list of cool things to investigate… a list that (sadly) gets always lost in the space of some weeks… So, without any further esitation, that’s the list for Javapolis 2006

XFire. I used XFire last year, when it [...]

Javapolis wrap-up

I’ve just come back from Antwerpen, so it’s time for a brief wrap-up, since I’ve had no time to blog during the week.
The conference was, as usual, excellent, with an impressive roster of speakers and the usual good organization; however, differently from the previous years (it’s my third time at javapolis since 2004), I’ve spent [...]

Javapolis 2006

I’ll fly to Belgium with a good group of other italian guys on Tuesday. If you are in the area, leave a comment or email me! It’s my forth time in [...]
