Coolest tweets during the CommunityONE General Session

1. Did jeremy dress like steve jobs on purpose?
2. Only one woman on this panel - is this a disfunction of the community?

The General Session was really general - and I'm a developer / consultant so little bit too general to me... Already looking forward to the technical sessions. :-)

Actually the OpenSolaris demo was really interesting. It seems like the whole installation procedure was significantly improved. Installation is really important for adoption - I got a CD and will try it (in VM first :-)). After the installtion demo, some JavaScript code in the mozilla browser was debugged from "outside" using D-trace. This feature could be interesting for debugging RealWorld AJAX applications. The user interface comes with some nice 3D effects as well - it looked impressive (similar to Ubuntu). ...the last 20 minutes were really enjoyable.

Glassfish Unconference ended ... with a party. HK2 is dead, OSGi is used

The Glassfish Unconference was a kind of "openspace" - all participants gathered together at round-tables and exchanged experiences / requests / problems in areas like: Scripting, Java EE 5, Production/Performance Tuning/Monitoring, Clustering etc. It was small, nice and intense. There was a lot of opportunity to talk directly with committers, product owners etc. The party afterwards was even better. I discussed with Netbeans/Glassfish engineers some ideas and issues. I really enjoyed the talks - these guys were really open for feedback and requests (at least I had the impression).

The breaking news: Glassfish v3 is based on OSGi now - HK2 seems to be dead - it was announced at the last year JavaONE :-). The interesting story is: what happens in case JSR-277 will come? HK2 aimed to provide a lean abstraction layer between Glassfish modules and OSGi / Java Module System.
