Please, post any bug reports you have to this site using the bug
tracker. Use the support tracker to ask for help using the API and post
all your flames for breaking applications to the discussion forums. :-)
The javadoc comments should be pretty well up-to-date, I'll try and
update the (hehem) user manual to reflect new changes in the API as
soon as possible. oran

UML2EJB is another code generator tool - it takes a Unified Modeling
Language (UML) model from a CASE-tool in XML format and generates
Enterprise JavaBeans classes with tags for the XDoclet tool. The most
important changes: * Generating Enterprise JavaBeans is now possible
with Rational Rose, too! * Stateful session beans are now supported,
too. * JDBC type mapping is now configurable. * The license is now BSD.
* It is now based on the latest XDoclet beta release. * Many smaller
features and bug fixes. Have fun... Matthias Bohlen

Chemistry Development Kit released (Saturday October 12, @01:39PM)
http://java.foundries.sourceforge.net/article.pl?sid=02/10/12/1843230
The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) is a Java library for
chemoInformatics and computational chemistry. It is the basis of other
projects like JChemPaint and SENECA. Homepage:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdk/ Probably the most interesting new
feature is the substructure search algorithm, but this release also
features a new IChI reader and SVG output. Moreover, a number of bugs
have been fixed.
KutttPech v0.4 released (Saturday October 12, @04:36AM)
http://java.foundries.sourceforge.net/article.pl?sid=02/10/12/0941202
KutttPech is a JAVA-based MPEG-player able to handle LIVE STREAM
video+audio as well as files. Very useful for webcams and web-site
add-ons. Homepage: http://kutttpech.sourceforge.net/ Features: MPEG-1
video decoder, that can decode perfect MPEG-1 streams as well as
obscure stream-formats where you might have left out a few things...
This means for instance it can begin in the middle of a LIVE stream and
will start playing right after the first I-frame (whole picture) has
been read... P/B-frame cutting. It will cut P-frames and B-frames up
till the next I-frame if the CPU of the computer is not up to the task.
In that way the lag will stay constant... Layer 1, 2 and 3(!) audio
support. That means the player will detect which kind of audio your
browser supports and will try to open the audio device. When successful
(see TESTS) it will decode and play synchronized audio for different
kinds of rates and types (mono/stereo and such). It can also play
files/urls if they are not LIVE and it can start playing before the
whole file is downloaded. Although the player is not made for this
purpose, it can be seen as a nice feature to brush up you web-page. A
scroll-bar feature. PLAY/PAUSE/STOP + slider. Very handy for playing
files that you want to be able to view multiple times. Stream-Switch
which enables you to specify multiple streams with their speeds. If the
server-side code then send a special code the player will switch
between streams. (Use your imagination) Connection tester. A small
piece of code that will try to open a large file on the server and read
as much as it can for a certain period. From this he will try to
measure you connection speed and switch to the right connection
speed... VERY HANDY when stream live... A bunch of other features like
debug tools and messaging systems to be controlled from the
server-side...
