JBoss User Groups and Java User Groups activities in Asia Pacific Region
In the next coming weeks we will be presenting in Singapore Java User Group, Beijing JBoss User Group and Hong Kong Java User Group. On the menu : the lean and mean JBoss AS7, which will power the new super JBoss Enterprise Platform (EAP6).
The first event will likely be held in Beijing end of October. Date will be confirmed soon.
If you wish to attend or have us present in your User Group, please drop me an email (bruno dot georges at redhat dot com).
AS7.0.0.CR1 [White Rabbit] is here
It is fast, lean, awesome.
Just one thing to say: watch Jason’s Video on AS7 and the Webinar from Pete, download it, install it and start coding.
Enjoy!
Install TorqueBox 2.x as a Gem
http://torquebox.org/news/2011/06/10/torquebox-gem/
We’re now bundling TorqueBox 2.x as a RubyGem which means Rubyists can install TorqueBox (and hence AS7) with a single command.
Check Benjamin Browning and the TorqueBox Team awesome work.
http://torquebox.org/news/2011/06/10/torquebox-gem/
The gem includes a Ruby wrapper to deploy, undeploy, boot AS7, and run the CLI.
Bundling TorqueBox as a gem wouldn’t have been possible without the awesome AS7 work!

Time Flies
Almost a year ago I wrote my last blog. It was actually couple of weeks before my third child came to this world, and about six weeks after I took over the JBoss Enterprise Platform engineering Group from Patrick McDonald.
No wonder why I left this blog unattended. Now that we have a routine in place with the kids and that work is more or less under control, I can start sharing few words on what’s going on at JBoss. Although my focus will revloves mostly around JBoss AS7 (the project) and the Enterprise Application Platform 6 (the product), I will continue to post on other technologies such as SOA, ESB and BPM.
Note that I don’t plan another child, neither a job change 
So stay tuned.

HornetQ 2.0.0.GA is out!
Congratulations to Tim Fox and the HornetQ team for this release.
This fully featured release offers superior usability, great examples and complete documentation. In addition to jaw-dropping performance, it delivers solid HA with automatic client fail-over (my favorite) so you can guarantee zero message loss or duplication in event of server failure.
Check the HornetQ wiki for the list of features that are supported in this release.
Happy Buzzing!
