Red Hat Developer Studio 1.0 Beta 1 Now Available

I'm pleased to announce the availability of the first beta release of Red Hat Developer Studio. This beta release marks the first time that a 100% open source development solution is available that integrates Eclipse, Eclipse plugins, and an entire runtime platform (The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform). So, with Red Hat Developer Studio, you can, out of the box, do things like:

• Generate a new Seam application using new Seam tools and deploy right into a pre-configured JBoss Application Server
• Visually design and code JSF pages using the updated Visual Page Editor, which now supports WYSIWYG editing of rich, AJAX components
• Generate entity beans for Seam applications from your database using Hibernate and visual seam-gen tools
  

You can download the Red Hat Developer Studio beta from http://www.redhat.com/developers/rhds/index.html.

Red Hat Messaging is now at jboss.org

I'm pleased to announce that the open source project, Red Hat Messaging, has now moved to jboss.org: http://labs.jboss.com/rhmessaging/. Red Hat Messaging is an open source project that is building a high performance, reliable distribution of the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) standard. We're excited to work on this project as part of the JBoss middleware community. We hope that you'll check out the project, try out the builds, and perhaps get involved in development!

We're also happy to be collaborating with the JBoss Messaging project. You can find out more about how JBoss Messaging and Red Hat Messaging relate by viewing the JBoss Messaging and Red Hat Messaging FAQ.
