It’s here! Oracle Coherence Incubator Release 11 has now been finalized and made public. Everyone can now pick up the official Maven builds from maven.java.net or via Maven Central.
Instead of repeating all of the goodies and release details again, I’ll simply refer you to take a look (more...)
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.

As mentioned at the past few Oracle Coherence Special Interest Group (SIG) and Customer Advisory Board (CAB) meetings, we’ve been busily working away at opening up (open sourcing) the entire Oracle Coherence Incubator for the Coherence Community. I’m very pleased to say that this work is now “almost” complete!

For some reason the “root” user doesn’t have read/write permissions to the Libraries (more...)
Updated to 10.7.1 last night. Unfortunately the mouse pointer acceleration issues aren’t resolved, but network connectivity seems to be way smoother (over the past week I’ve occasionally had to reboot the machine to get the network to work).
However I’m now completely “sold” on the new scrolling (reversed (more...)
Upgrading from OSX Snow Leopard to OSX Lion has so far been somewhat of a disappointment, especially when compared to previous upgrades. Actually I’m glad it only cost $29, as any more and i would have probably returned it. The upgrade process itself was fairly smooth and seamless (apart from (more...)
