Greetings. We have two reviews this week. First up is the Sapphire project [1] with their 0.4 release review [2]. From the project website: "Sapphire aims to raise UI writing to a higher level of abstraction. The core premise is that the basic building block of UI should not be a widget (text box, label, button, etc.), but rather a property editor. Unlike a widget, a property editor analyzes metadata associated with a given property, renders the appropriate widgets to edit that property and wires up data binding. Data is synchronized, validation is passed from the model to the UI, content assistance is made available, etc." Next is the Gyrex project [3] with their 0.11 release review [4]. From the project website: "Gyrex provides a platform on top of the Equinox OSGi framework to allow seamless and pain-free operation of Equinox server clusters. It also provides frameworks and concepts for developing, deploying and scaling applications on top of Gyrex based clouds."In other news... if your Eclipse project is still using CVS, you need to start thinking about migrating [5] your project to Git. You have a little more than a year before we make all existing CVS repositories read-only. The countdown has begun [6]. If you have questions, or are having problems, please ask.
