Griffon Validation Plugin v0.6 was released today. In this release the validation plugin’s artifact handling has been rewritten to be compatible withe the up-coming Griffon 0.9.2 release. Also in this release validation plugin now simulates inheritance effect for the constraints you define.

JNDI Warrior v0.2 was released today. In this version you can now save your JNDI connection settings including it’s classpath for future reuse. As well a simple sorting capability was added to the JNDI tree browser to help navigating through big JNDI tree commonly see in large enterprise. You can download the latest binary from here.

It all started as a simple demonstration application to showcase Griffon framework’s capability to deliver rich Swing based client application with unprecedented speed. However the demo itself turned out to be quite a handy little tool especially for Java EE developers, I personally had used it a couple of times to debug some odd JNDI lookup and classpath issues in the last a couple of weeks. So I have decided to officially host it on SourceForge.net as an open source project – JNDI Warrior.

Its a simple Swing based client utility application which allows you to connect to a given JNDI provider typically found with any Java EE application server. It has three JNDI templates built-in (Weblogic, JBoss AS, and Glassfish) to help you filling some of the blanks, but in theory it should work like any Java based JNDI client with any provider by manually entering your JNDI settings. You can download this little application from here.

We are happy to announce v0.5 release of the Griffon Validation plugin. This release was mainly designed to upgrade Validation plugin to be compatible with Griffon 0.9 core, plus some minor internal clean up. To upgrade your application to this version you need to first upgrade your Griffon installation to 0.9 by:

1. Download Griffon 0.9 from http://griffon.codehaus.org/Download
2. Run “griffon upgrade” under your application folder

Then run “griffon install-plugin validation” to upgrade the plugin

Other than the core upgrade, another somewhat important change in this release is now Validation plugin officially depends on i18n plugin, so once you upgrade to v0.5 Griffon will automatically install i18n (currently 0.2) into your application if its not already installed yet.
