It was great to see an email from Eddie O'Neil from BEA, announcing the Apache Beehive final 1.0 release.
I got to work on an Apache Beehive project, and was very impressed with certain parts and pieces. This may be a 1.0 release, but remember that it has been around for awhile in production projects such as Portal, and Workshop.
We are pleased to announce the v1.0 release of Apache Beehive!
This release provides the following major features:
- NetUI (Page Flow + JSP tag library)
- Controls framework
- System controls for accessing JDBC, JMS, and EJB resources
- Many bug fixes
- Significantly enhanced documentation
- Additional samples
Binary and source distributions can be downloaded via an Apache mirror from:
http://beehive.apache.org/releases/release-1.0.cgi
Documentation for v1.0 is here:
http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0
A few notes about this release:
* WSM and the web service control are not included as WSM has not passed the JSR 181 TCK yet. Both will be available in a subsequent release.
* v1.0 does not include XMLBeans due to licensing issues with the JSR
173 API JAR; however, XMLBeans can still be used with Beehive and is available from http://xmlbeans.apache.org
* Changes in v1.0 from v1.0m1 can be found here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10570&fixfor=12310123
* Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports, patches, testing, and feedback. All of these contributed significantly to this release.
* Please send comments / questions about this release to user@beehive.apache.org and development-related issues to dev@beehive.apache.org
* Bugs found in 1.0 should be filed in JIRA at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE
* This version was built at SVN change 291405.
We welcome your feedback.
On to v.next...
