That’s cool. Liferay has released a new version of their portal server. I thought I remembered that they required an EJB container for deployment the last time I had a look at it. According to this doc it now uses Spring to seamlessly deploy using either POJOs or EJBs depending on wether it’s running on an lightweight or app server. That’s the way it should be. 🙂
Alright, I’ve been watching the flash demos of the Hibernate Tools for integration into Eclipse. This looks really good. It doesn’t seem to have XDoclet support though. I like keeping the mapping details close to the source (XDoclet). It has experimental support for EJB3 annotations it seems, but that’s a bit far into the future to use for production now. I’ll have to test it some day.

Seems TiVO released an API for creating services on the TiVO. There’s a short intro with the basics here.
