Debu Panda, the author of EJB 3 In Action book, is working on the examples of the book to get them working on BEA Oracle Weblogic 10. That’s awesome!
Here the link for more information about the examples and how to setup Weblogic 10: http://debupanda.blogspot.com/2008/04/ejb-3-in-action-code-examples-on.html

Great job Panda, thanks.
Two programmers talking:
[Joseph] someone speak python here?
[John] HHHHHSSSSSHSSSsssHhh
[John] SSSSSsssSs
[Joseph] the programming language…
And here is the link if you want to download any “ORACLE Bea Product”:

2 awesome things:
- Workshop Studio is finally a free project (free, not open). Check this link: Oracle Weblogic Workshop Independence day
- JRockit is back again for download
And why these 2 things are so great ? Well, the first one is obvious, workshop studio is a great IDE with many plugins for JEE development, web services, ejb wizards. Also great for other application servers (JBoss, Websphere) and has plugins for Adobe Flex, which is really cool! But until this day, you were not able to download workshop studio, only “workshop”, the basic IDE that comes with all products. That really great news!
The second one is for the people who wants to use one of the best and fastest JVM in the market to work with other JEE products, not only Oracle/BEA ones.
Great job Oracle.
If you are running java apps based on swing (gui) under linux, you should be experiencing some problems, such as a “a completly blank window” or no components showing… This happens if you are using the desktop effects (even in the “Normal” level).
Common applications that I had problems:
- Apache JMeter
- Oracle SQLDeveloper
- IReport
Ok, here is the simple fix: Add these 2 lines in the script that starts the application (sqldeveloper.sh for example).
export AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolkit" export HOSTNAME=localhost

Looks like the 1.6.1 jdk will have this fixed…
