The Rails lookalike for Java has been released in .8 version. There’s an tutorial article here.
I haven’t had much time to look into Rails or Trails yet, but a simple framework that will let me stay on the Java platform and ease web development is really tempting. It remains to see how it holds up in a real project, but I should check it out one day.
So Maven 2.0 is released. Too much work migrating my existing project I guess, but it’ll be a safe bet for my next one.
FireFox has reached 100 million downloads. Congrats. It just sucks it’s been acting up with me lately. It keeps hanging and crashing several times a day, even on different machines. So I’m giving Opera a spin, and hoping FireFox will get stable on the next release. As one of the tools I use the most during a day it won’t do with regular crashes.
