David Rupp writes –eloquently –that he does not understand why people are reluctant to use software that auto-generates code (e.g. Hibernate and AOP/AspectJ). He is of course right. Code generation on the fly is in exactly the same league as JSPs,EJBs and dynamic proxies in terms of how the code one writes . . . →Read More:Re:Code Generation:good or bad? It looks like search is starting to gain momentum,both desktop and service based. In the last couple of weeks,we had: Desktop Search Google Desktop renewed interest in Lookout (Lucene .Net based) nascent Lucene Desktop is generating a lot of interest,though it is hard to say how it will deferentiate itself from Zilverline . . . →Read More:Koders:Another search mini-app Guillaume Laforge writes about the ‘New Author’treatment.

Finally,BEA has realised that a 3rd party will do a better job out of it. Meet CodeShare,a new project developed by BEA . . . →Read More:Goodbye Dev2Dev,Hello CodeShare Altova,the maker of XMLSpy has released several standalone engines that previously were only available as part of the editor itself. They have XSLT 1.0,XSLT 2.0 and XQuery engines. XSLT 1.0 implementation looks very complete,XSLT 2.0 is less so. Of course,my own preference is XMLStarlet.
