[ANNOUNCE] Ant 1.5.2 Released

It actually happened yesterday, but I've seen little signs of the word being spread, so I'm here to help. Get it from the main distribution site while the mirrors catch up. I don't think it has anything I need at this point. But I'm upgrade happy, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Ant JMeter Task

By now, you've probably heard of JMeter. It's basically a Swing-based performance testing framework. From the struts-user list today, I found out there's a JMeter Ant Task. Sweet - looks easy to use too. Now if I could just figure out JMeter, or better yet - be tasked with actually implementing it. I've played with it a couple of times, but never long enough to get something I rely on and use.

Anthill, on the other hand, was so easy to install and use that I've set it up at home and I've automated some of my projects' build/deploy processes. I might have to add Roller to the mix. If I were real daring, I could set it up on this server and build/deploy Roller every day or so. Of course, I wouldn't keep this site up to the latest version - I'd setup a 2nd instance of Roller. Any interest in this? Or better yet, do you know anyone that's hosting an Anthill install that we can use?

[ANNOUNCE] Tomcat 5.0.1 Alpha Released!

This is huge for me, as I need to start working with JSP 2.0 for my own personal satisfaction (less code == more productivity). I know that Resin supports JSP 2.0 as well, but I'm familiar with Tomcat and it's free. The most I've ever done with Resin (to this point) is to install it. To my knowledge, Resin is not free (esp. when I'm running a business site like this one). Anyway, on with the e-mail from the tomcat-user mailing list.

Tomcat 5.0.1 Alpha is now available for testing.

This is actually the first real milestone of Tomcat 5, as Tomcat 5.0.0 did not include any new feature over 4.1.x other than the support for Servlet API 2.4 drafts and JSP 2.0 drafts.

Tomcat 5.0.1 includes:
- improved performance (with additional improvements planned)
- complete montoring capabilities through JMX, with JSR 77 support
- clustering capabilities (not included with that build as a binary)
- JMX configuration capabilities
- with a lot more to come in later milestones
