After a hiatus whilst getting up to speed with Scala development, forays into TDD-with-Scala-Maven-and-JNI and iPhone/JavaScript development.... I'm happy to announce the release of DevZendo.org's first Scala application library, the CommonDb Framework, version 0.1.0.

Version 0.2.2 of the MiniMiser Framework is released.

This is a smaller release than previously (again!), since I've been busy starting some other projects.

Despite intending to stick to a regular release schedule, I've spent the last 6 months...

The third release of the Cross Platform Launcher Plugin is now available.

This Maven 2 plugin allows you to create launchers for Java programs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

See its page in the Developer Area for more information.

This release is tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Mac OS X 10.6 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04.1 LTS.

Apart from testing on all platforms, this release...

The second release of the Cross Platform Launcher Plugin is now available.

This Maven 2 plugin allows you to create launchers for Java programs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. At this time, only Mac OS X is fully tested in this release - the others should work, but were not the focus of this iteration.

See its page in the Developer Area for more information.

Version 0.2.1 (formerly 0.3.0) of the MiniMiser Framework is released.

This is a smaller release than previously, since I've spent most of the iteration learning Scala.

The next release of MiniMiser, 0.3.0 is due on June 21st, and although this iteration is the longest in the release schedule, I've also been busy grokking Scala, so only a small update this time:

• Update to the latest Quaqua look and feel library for Mac OS X

Development continues apace with the second release of The MiniMiser Framework, version 0.2.0 alpha.

The focus for this release has been on improving the framework user guide, completing the menu building subsystem, and a refresh of some of the core technologies used by the framework.

Following the release of 0.1.0, development continues, with the focus being continuing with Menu Building, and a Technology Refresh.

Today I launch the first alpha release of The MiniMiser Framework, a Java-based framework for developing embedded-database-backed desktop applications.

Although version 0.1.0 is an alpha release, with several key features unfinished, it is proving to be an effective base on which to build its sample application.

Please see the project page in the developer area for more information! You'll find a short overview of its capabilities so far in the change history.

Onwards to version 0.2.0 to be released on 30th April.
