After using and I guess supporting the Eclipse IDE now for almost 10 years, it’s finally failed badly enough that I’ve dragged into the Trash.  Why?  The last straw was simply the irritating and annoying unstable editor scrolling performance on a variety of platforms.  It’s no longer worth it.

It’s been in the works for a number of years, more than a decade, but finally we’re making some solid process moving the JCache Specification forward, hopefully for inclusion in Java EE 7.

Yesterday the JCP made the important step of posting the Early Draft specification and API for JSR107. See http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=107 for details.

Just uploaded the latest fix patches for Coherence Incubator 10.  While mostly minor fixes, there’s also a few new additions, like the new @LiveObject annotation.  Check out the Coherence Incubator project pages for more details.  http://coherence.oracle.com/display/INC10

For some reason the “root” user doesn’t have read/write permissions to the Libraries folder!  Very weird.
