IFCX Wings & G4OO updated, plus we've got Scala!
The v0.6 release of IFCX Groovy For OpenOffice and Wings (version numbers bumped to align for the moment), demonstrated at CommunityOne and JavaOne last week, are available for download in the usual place
.
A big THANK YOU to Brendan Humphreys and Peter Moore of
Atlassian for the invitation and
support to present Wings in a lightning talk at CommunityOne. I did
have a nasty demo devil bite that prevented a live demonstration,
so next time I'll have a Time Machine backup with me...
This release of Wings should be useful on at least an experimental level for the adventurous. The examples include plenty of Groovy of course, but also Ruby/JRuby, Python/Jython, and Haskell/Jaskell.
Apache Ivy integration enables JAR
dependencies to be loaded dynamically and languages are pluggable
via the JSR 223:
Scripting for the Java Platform. JDK 1.5 is all that is required,
although JDK 1.6 or 1.7 are fine of course.
G4OO v0.6 features Groovy
1.5.6 and
Apache Ivy 2.0-SNAPSHOT bundled with the Ivy RoundUp Builder Resolver.
Using that pluggable language scheme, and thanks to a sprint at
the Scala lift
off last
Saturday with the invaluable assistance of Lex
Spoon and
Toomas
Romer,
WE HAVE SCALA! You can download it from the usual place.
