Sonatype's Nexus 1.0-beta-1 Released

Sonatype's Nexus 1.0-beta-1 Released

Nexus is a powerful and robust Maven repository manager, created to provide reliable access to artifacts required for development and provisioning. Maven's central repository has always served as a great convenience for users of Maven, but it has always been recommended to maintain your own repositories to ensure stability within your organization. Nexus greatly simplifies the maintenance of your own internal repositories and access to external repositories. With Nexus you can completely control access to, and deployment of, every artifact in your organization from a single location.

Upcoming Netbeans Maven Intrigatation (3.1) has Full integration with Nexus, If you what to give it a try check latest snapshot at http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/mevenide/..

Java SE 6 Update N ( Consumer JRE )

Java SE 6 Update N ( Consumer JRE ) available for testing Give it a try

Features available for testing

• Deployment Toolkit (To be included)
  The Deployment Toolkit takes the guess work out of determining what versions of the JRE end users have installed on their PC. It supplies Java based web applet/application deployers with a simple interface to accomplish Java detection and installation.
• Java QuickStarter
  The Quick Starter feature will prefetch portions of the JRE into memory, substantially decreasing the average JRE cold start-up time (the time that it takes to launch a Java application for the first time after a fresh reboot of a PC).
• Hardware acceleration support
  Java SE 6 Update N introduces a fully hardware accelerated graphics pipeline based on the Microsoft Direct3D 9 API, translating into improved rendering of Swing applications which rely on translucency, gradients, arbitrary transformations, and other more advanced 2D operations.
• Nimbus
  A new cross-platform Swing look & feel, code name Nimbus, provides a nice update over 'Metal' and 'Ocean', and more!

Features currently not available for testing

• Kernel installation mode
  The Kernel installation mode lets first time Java users run applets and Web Start applications without waiting for the whole JRE download. While the default Kernel installation will work with existing Java applets, application developers have the ability to select libraries that should be installed with the kernel, before the rest of the JRE is installed on the end user's system.
  
  Note: The Kernel installation mode relies on a specific backend infrastructure setup that is still undergoing internal testing. The URL from which a JRE installation in Kernel mode can be initiated will be posted at a later date.

• New Java Update download engine & Patch-in-Place
  For current users of Java SE, the JRE update mechanism has also been improved, using a patch-in-place mechanism that translates in a faster and more reliable update process. As an added benefit, follow-on update releases will no longer be listed as separate items in the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" dialog. A new Java update download engine provides end users with the convenience of pausing and resuming the JRE download, and relies on a more reliable download mechanism.

Log Management Module Updated

Last Thursday Jaroslav Tulach comment Log management module and ask few suggestions and I have Implemented all requested suggestions
#1 - the nodes with loggers should be sorted by name























#2 - maybe add some properties to the Node representing the Logger[1]. I'd
like to see Level property there - then I would be able to select multiple
loggers and enable their logging at once[2]

#3 - the node could be registered in the Services tab.
