Gabriel is a security framework for Java. By using access control lists and permissions, Gabriel enables components to check access to actions. On top of that Gabriel protects methods like EJB does but without the overhead. It distinguishes itself from other frameworks by the ease of use with a small API and by mapping method access to permissions instead of persons. This way the same permissions can be used to protect method access and to check which GUI elements to show based on user permissions.

Gabriel is open source and uses an Apache 2.0 license.

Thanks to Bob and codehaus to make this possible.

The first public version of Drone has been released. It's a Java IRC bot written with the RIFE framework. It has a modular API that makes it possible to easily extend and customize the active feature set. There also a web administration interface to handle all common tasks and a public logging section. Installation is done by simply dropping a war in your servlet container or by running it straight from the standalone distribution.

You can see it running at:

Have fun!

The jMock team are pleased to announce the release of jMock 1.0.1.

jMock is a library for testing Java code using mock objects.

Mock objects help you design and test the interactions between the objects in your programs.

The jMock package:

• makes it quick and easy to define mock objects, so you don't break the rhythm of programming.
• lets you define flexible constraints over object interactions, reducing the brittleness of your tests.
• is easy to extend.

Binary and source distributions and documentation can be downloaded from http://www.jmock.org.

Changes from 1.0.0

• Fixed bug in error messages that report verify failures
• Various minor error message improvements

Well, we've finally moved all projects to the new hardware. Fun fun fun.

Slow projects are getting their websites redeployed and updating the meta-information about their project.

This page should soon become the canonical jump point for all projects.

The PicoContainer team is proud to announce the final release of PicoContainer 1.0.

When we started to work on PicoContainer in June 2003 we had not imagined how much attention and impact it would have. PicoContainer is now being used in a dozen open source projects and many more closed source projects.

PicoContainer has been an important vehicle for popularising Dependency Injection (particularly Constructor Injection), a software pattern that helps developers keep their code simple and testable.

We'd like to thank all the contributors and users for their overwhelming interest in PicoContainer. Without you we would not have been able to deliver this powerful 50k library.

I guess it's summer or something and as there are suddenly lots of Hausmates in the NYC area, it's time to throw the first of what I suspect to be many Hausparties this summer in NYC. Bring food if you want to eat, hopefully something that you can share. We'll have basic snacks on hand too.

Who: You and yours, but please spay or neuter first
When: June 12, 2004 2PM-???
Where: Click for Map. RSVP here for complete details
Why: It's your birthday this year!

I'll be trying to locate an outdoor grill this week, let me know if you are interested in cooking on it, otherwise we'll just skip that part if demand isn't very high. We should have reserve fluids of many colors and compositions, but please bring enough for your basic needs or any specialties that you are interested in. The blender will be plugged in for action, ice and mixers will be on hand, but I'm no bartender and I'm not sure what's going to happen in that department.

Hope to see you there!
