  • Tasktop Sync Studio announced, ALM Architects rejoice posted Mar 28, 2012
    As organizations increasingly become software driven, the role of the application lifecycle is taking a new meaning. Connecting stakeholders in the software lifecycle ceases being a nice to have and any gap in connectivity quickly becomes the bottleneck of software delivery. The organizations are now noticing the friction of having developers do duplicate data entry between their issue tracker and Agile tool, or testers and business analysts queuing up weeks of defects and requirements before handing them off to developers. The application lifecycle is only as efficient as its weakest link, and if that link is manual and based on large batches and handoffs, frustration for the individuals and large-scale inefficiencies result.

  • Dev + Ops = Getting Software Deployed Faster (DevOps) posted Jan 27, 2012
    DevOps is one of those terms you hear a LOT about lately but I am not sure it is really well understood. However, if you are going to be successful at Agile ALM it would seem natural you would want to bring the operations side of IT closer into the development process. Puppet is one example of an open source project that is implementing some of the DevOps concepts.

    Version 2 of the debugger supports post execution logging, meaning that programmers now can "insert" logging statements into code after the application has already run. Because Chronon does not actually run the application, but simply shifts it from one state into another, post execution logging has an extra advantage compared to traditional logging. The results are instant. Even if your program ran for 5 hours and you put a logging statement on a line that is normally hit after 4 hours, Chronon will instantly show you the results. There is no waiting for the issue to happen so that the log is triggered.

  • New Releases: Virgo 3.0 and Gemini Web 2.0 posted Aug 26, 2011
    The team of committers has expanded considerably and, although the team is now distributed geographically, we have a great working relationship. I'm delighted that these projects are now community collaborations rather than the work of a single vendor.
    The theme of Virgo 3.0 is better integration with EclipseRT technologies. To that end, we have created a Jetty variant of the Virgo web server and have switched from Felix to Equinox implementations of some OSGi services. Integration with p2 is proving a tough nut to crack and is deferred to the Bondi (3.5) release, although we expect to issue a milestone soon to get some feedback from the user community.

  • Oracle Donates Hudson Project to Eclipse posted May 05, 2011
    Oracle has donated the code from the open-source Hudson project to the Eclipse Foundation in a move the company hopes will reunite the fractured set of developers supporting the Java continuous integration server effort.
    Oracle’s move amounts to an olive branch of sorts to the Jenkins community. Jenkins was originally the Hudson project, but after disagreements with Oracle over the stewardship and control of the project, leaders of the Hudson community called for a vote to change the name of the project to Jenkins. The name change passed in late January 2010 and as the newly named Jenkins project launched, Oracle vowed to maintain its efforts with Hudson and considered Jenkins a fork.
  • Oracle Proposes Hudson Move to Eclipse Foundation posted May 05, 2011
    Oracle proposed today that the Hudson project be transferred to the Eclipse Foundation, complete with code re-licensing under the Eclipse Public License as well as the domain and controversial trademark.
    Oracle will continue to lead the project, along with Sonatype who have been instrumental in migrating the Hudson plugin system towards a JSR 330/Dependency Injection style of representation. However, the move to the Eclipse Foundation has also interested others, such as VMware and Tasktop, who have been invited to participate as committers on the project. With the top-level Mylyn project providing application lifecycle management from within Eclipse (which already includes a Hudson/Jenkins connector), and the recent move of Tycho (which was released under the org.eclipse namespace this week), the Eclipse Foundation's story on interoperable build and management tools makes it a natural place to host the Hudson builds.

  • Eclipse sings open-web tune: No framework, no problem posted Mar 22, 2011
    Project Orion is a browser-based development effort run by the Eclipse Foundation, but it has nothing to do with the Eclipse Framework, a workbench favored by enterprise Java developers for connecting lots of different third party tools into a common and open framework. Orion does not squeeze the Eclipse Framework into the browser, and it doesn't try to plant an IDE in the cloud. It's not even built on the same language as Eclipse. Orion is built on JavaScript while Eclipse is mostly written in Java.
