New dependencies were added these last days to XMLPortal project. The main reason was the move we made to JSF and JPA specifications, due Contacts and Applies sub projects.

XMLPortal sources are now under NetBeans 6.0 M10 format. Despite Java sources remain the same , project properties had probably changed.

XMLPortal last update came with last Web 2.0 technologies and achieves more than ever collaboration through the web site. One of the last improvements is the contacts database. With a very simple approach allows storing as much information as it's required. You'll never say there was something you knew from somebody you couldn't fill in XMLPortal Contacts.

Aquest cap de setmana a sigut fatal pel nostre servei de hosting. Una tormenta sobre l'estat d'Oregon, al oest dels Estats Units, on es el nostre proveïdor, ha fet que s'estigués treballant amb generadors durant hores senceres, fins que aquests s'han esgotat i el servei s'ha vingut abaix.

XMLPortal sources at java.net are now in NB 5.5 project format. Not a big change, though, since they simply moved from NB 5.0 format. Anyway, new NB 5.5 features are quite interesting and I enjoy each NB new version.

Well, almost half year has passed since we moved to Kattare. We took a dedicated server plan and in three days Glassfish was up and running. Forgotten are those "256Mb of dedicated memory", most of time buried somewhere in the swap disc. Now, 1Gb fulfills every J2EE requirement. Delicious.

While writing this blog I took some screenshots of the new editor features. Not that I need them so much for publishing through XMLPortal, but they are a great help for those users wanting to exploit CSS. In previous releases, editor syntax got into text area by hand. You could read somewhere how to create a new formatting block, but you needed to type it.

At late development of version 2.0 I decided to rewrite XMLPortal's core library, xmlportal-lib. So I told NetBeans 5.0 to create a new Java Library and got a request: which one was the project's name?

Writting blogs, web pages, even issues, project descriptions and others using wiki syntax can be as plain as writting normal text or as complicated as HTML may be. This is because XMLPortal's wiki syntax tries simplifying text typing but allows including CSS styles. For example, writting this blog I have not used any special knowledge, just typed the text as it came to my mind (usually it comes unordered, hardly coherent, as you might notice)

From now on, though, things will be harder. I'll try to show how to use CSS with wiki syntax.
