The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the first release of the UIMA-AS add-on for UIMA. (The release number is 2.2.2-incubating to correspond with the base UIMA level).
UIMA-AS adds a highly flexible, robust, and easy to use scaleout capability to the core UIMA framework; it can be considered to be a next-generation replacement for the original CPM (Collection Processing Management) scaleout that is part of the core UIMA framework.
Now you can selectively scale up (to take advantage of multiple cores) or scale out (over local and/or wide area networks) just those analytics that need the scaling, thus allowing optimization of computing resources. UIMA-AS has been successfully used on multiple projects, and scaled out to 100's of cores, with no limit in sight.
It makes use of JMS (Java Messaging Services) and uses Apache ActiveMQ to support messaging between components. Already written UIMA Components can take advantage of UIMA-AS scaleout with no code or component descriptor changes.
There is a short writeup that describes more details about the new capabilities and how to get started using it, on the UIMA website: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/doc-uimaas-what.html
UIMA is a component framework supporting integration and deployment of components for the analysis of unstructured content such as text, audio, and video; the main web-site is here: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/index.html
Thank you for your interest in Apache UIMA-AS. We look forward to hearing about your experience in using this new capability.

INCUBATION DISCLAIMER
Apache UIMA is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

The Apache Directory Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Directory Studio 1.2.0 RC1, a major update of its Eclipse based LDAP
Browser and Directory client.
You can download Apache Directory Studio 1.2.0 RC1 as a standalone RCP
application for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows here:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/downloads.html
You can also install it directly in Eclipse using this update site:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/1.x/
Here are a few highlights of this new version:
* The new Apache DS feature makes its introduction in Apache
Directory Studio. This new feature allows you to run the latest
version of Apache DS (1.5.3) from within Apache Directory Studio or
Eclipse and makes it super easy (and fast) to create and run an LDAP
Server.
* The Apache DS Configuration plugin now supports the 4 latest
versions of Apache DS. It's now capable to read/write the server.xml
file of an Apache DS 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2 and 1.5.3.
* The Search Logs view has been added to the LDAP Browser.
* We've also added the support to use the proxy features of
Eclipse inside Studio as well as improved the platform (useful actions
have been added to the platform, the Mac OS X application now respects
the standards of Apple for the "About" and "Preferences" actions,
etc.).
* We've also fixed some bugs dealing with schema files and schema
parsing in the Schema Editor and LDAP Browser plugins.
Developed as a sub-project of the Directory Top Level Project, Apache
Directory Studio is an Eclipse RCP application that takes full
advantage of the benefits inherent in the Eclipse platform. Composed
of several Eclipse (OSGi) plugins, Apache Directory Studio can be
easily upgraded with additional plugins. Apache Directory Studio
plugins can even run within a full installation of Eclipse itself.
Apache Directory Studio contains 6 major features:
* an LDAP Browser feature
* an LDIF Editor feature
* an ACI Editor feature for Apache Directory Server
* a Schema Editor feature
* an Apache DS feature
* an Apache DS Configuration feature
For more information about Apache Directory Studio, see our website:

The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of ApacheDS 1.5.3.
ApacheDS is an embeddable directory server entirely written in Java, which
has been certified LDAPv3 compatible by the Open Group. Besides LDAP it
supports Kerberos 5 and the Change Password Protocol. It has been designed
to introduce triggers, stored procedures, queues and views to the world of
LDAP which has lacked these rich constructs.
This version is mainly a bug fix version, which also bring some new
installers (for Solaris and tar.gz installers), more performance, and
NTLM authentication (some external package must be downloaded).
40 issues has also been fixed since the last relase, 1.5.2.
ADS 1.5.3 is not a definitive version, as we are working in an unstable
branch, and there may be some modification in the configuration or features

The Apache Archiva team is pleased to announce the release of Archiva 1.1
Archiva is a build artifact repository manager for use with build tools such
as Maven, Continuum and Ant.
It has features like repository search and browse, securing repositories,
identifying unknown artifacts and reporting of repository problems.
Aside from these, it can also act as a nearby (proxy) cache of popular
global repositories.
The latest release is now available here:
http://archiva.apache.org/download.html
If you have any questions, please consult:
- the web site: http://archiva.apache.org
- the archiva-user mailing list: http://archiva.apache.org/mail-lists.html
New in Archiva 1.1
================
* Artifact Uploads
To simplify adding artifacts to a repository, an upload form has been put in
place that allows you to put an artifact and POM into the repository without
the need for the Maven deploy-file command.
* RSS
RSS is now available for getting a feed of new artifacts being added to a
given repository. Two types of feeds are generated by Archiva: new artifacts
in a repository and new versions of a specific artifact.
* Virtual Repositories
Virtual repositories or repository groups allows downloading from a group of
repositories via one url (group url).
* Timeouts
Connections to remote repositories can now have a configurable timeout value
* New Runtime Bundle
The application is now distributed using Jetty 6.1 and it's documented
configuration, rather than the previous Plexus application server bundle. It
continues to use the Java Service Wrapper (v3.2.3) for application
monitoring, though the configuration has been improved, particularly with
regard to separating the application configuration from the installation.
* Using Spring
Archiva now uses the Spring Framework as it's underlying container instead
of Plexus. This results in a boost in performance and stability for the web
application in particular.
* Using Apache Jackrabbit WebDAV Servlet
Archiva now uses Apache Jackrabbit's WebDAV servlet for serving repository
content instead of plexus-webdav. The change results in reduced codebase
complexity, increased standards compliance, better webdav client support and
a small peformance boost.
Change Log for Archiva 1.1

The Velocity developers are pleased to make the second beta release of
VelocityTools 2.0 available for download.
Downloads are available here:
http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi
Major development in VelocityTools 2.0 has been essentially complete
for some time, and the focus is on fixing the remaining bugs,
completing the documentation, and providing clear migration paths for
users of VelocityTools 1.x. Significant new features in 2.0 include
very flexible, composable toolbox configuration (via either java, xml,
and/or properties), lazy-loading/initialization of tools, the
VelocityViewTag for embedding Velocity within JSP, simplified
embedding of VelocityTools in other frameworks, an assortment of new
and improved tools, and much more.
This should be useable as a drop in replacement for Tools 1.4, with a
few minor exceptions where things already deprecated earlier in 1.x
have been removed. The 2.x series of VelocityTools also requires both
Velocity 1.5+ and JDK 1.5+.
At this point, the new tool management and configuration facilities
are extremely stable and useable. Documentation has continued to
improve dramatically and is nearing completion. There are no open or
known bugs in this release nor significant changes anticipated before
2.0 final is released.
We are very interested in all feedback regarding Tools 2.0, especially
regarding backwards compatibility with apps designed for Tools 1.4 or
earlier. We aim to enable a smooth, incremental transition for
developers and their applications.

Help the Apache Wicket team to determine the future of your Wicket
based web application development. We have released our third and
hopefully final milestone release of our Java 5 based web framework
and are anxious to receive feedback on our use of generics.
A significant change from the earlier Wicket 1.4 milestone versions is
that Component is no longer generified. This means that Component and
most of its subclasses in Wicket do not take a class-level type
parameter. Some Component subclasses remain generified, such as Link,
Form, FormComponent, ListView, etc. You can read more details
regarding these changes here:
* http://wicket.apache.org/wicket-14-m3-news.html
* http://www.nabble.com/generics-to18083910.html#a18083910
We feel that this might provide a good middle ground between being
unable to add typing to IModel on one hand and a proliferation of
unneeded typing information on modelless components on the other hand.
Your feedback is appreciated!
Download Wicket 1.4-m3 now and help us decide whether to tone down,
remove or increase the application of Java 5 generics to our API. We
have started the discussion on the user mailing list:

The Apache ODE community is proud to announce its latest 1.2 release that includes many new features, improvements and bug fixes. Apache ODE is a WS-BPEL compliant web services orchestration engine. It organizes web services calls following a process description written in the BPEL XML grammar. Another way to describe it would be a web-service capable workflow engine. Highlights of this release: * External variables: variables used in a process are not opaque to the outside world anymore. You can map them to a simple database table and manipulate them directly. * Support for the WSDL HTTP binding. We've also added a few extensions, allowing the invocation of REST-style web services. * Advanced endpoint configuration which, thanks to the integration with Apache Axis2, enables WS-Security and WS-RM support. * A long list of small fixes and improvements for best-of-breed stability, performance and usability. In addition to these new features, Apache ODE provides the following functionalities: * Side-by-side support for both the WS-BPEL 2.0 OASIS standard and the legacy BPEL4WS 1.1 vendor specification. * Supports 2 communication layers: one based on Axis2 (Web Services http transport) and another one based on the JBI standard (using ServiceMix). * High level API to the engine that allows you to integrate the core with virtually any communication layer. * Hot-deployment of your processes. * Compiled approach to BPEL that provides detailed analysis and validation at the command line or at deployment. * Management interface for processes, instances and messages. For more information, check the Apache ODE website: http://ode.apache.org/. Apache ODE is an open source project released under a business-friendly license (Apache License v2.0), as such we welcome all your help and contributions.

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache Portable Runtime Project are proud to announce the General Availability of version 1.3.0 of the APR Apache Portable Runtime library.
The Project further announces the General Availability of APR-util version 1.3.0, the companion Apache Portable Utility library. The original APR-iconv version 1.2.1 release, an alternative portable implementation of the 'iconv' library, remains current.
APR is available for download from:
This version of APR is principally a bug fix release, including fixes for specific platforms' configuration, feature detection, and run time behavior. Most developers are encouraged to adopt the latest APR 1.x version to ensure the most comprehensive support and access to the latest features and enhancements.
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime Project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behavior regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.
APR and its companion libraries are implemented entirely in C and provide a common programming interface across a wide variety of operating system platforms without sacrificing performance.
Currently supported platforms include:

The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce an important maintenance release of Derby, 10.3.3.0.
Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project. Derby is a pure Java relational database engine which conforms to the ISO/ANSI SQL and JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers and end-users to work with.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If you are currently using Derby 10.3.1.4 or Derby 10.3.2.1, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to Derby 10.4.1.3 or 10.3.3.0 to avoid any chance of database corruption due to an issue with multiple threads accessing a database that is documented in DERBY-3347.
This bug can cause unrecoverable database corruption during periods of heavy, multi-thread I/O operations. The error produced in the test case used to diagnose the problem was:
ERROR XSDB3: Container information cannot change once written: was 0, now 80.
It is felt that other errors might also be generated when this type of corruption occurs. The corruption message will most likely refer to page 0 of the container. For example:
ERROR XSDG1: Page Page(0 ,Container(0, 5856)) could not be written...
This bug corrupts the pages on disk and can go unnoticed. If you do not run database consistency checks regularly it is recommended you begin doing so as soon as possible after the upgrade. To insure that corruption has not already occurred in existing databases, after upgrade run the database consistency check at least once to validate all tables in the database. This proalso check that the previous backup did not also have the corruption.
In some cases one may recover data from the existing database, depending on the extent of the corruption, but will require by hand data recovery. Depending on the type of corruption this may be successful or not. one should consult the Derby list if attempting this recovery - no automatic software solution to this recovery exists.
Version 10.3.3.0 can be downloaded from: http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.3.3.0.cgi
Version 10.4.1.3 can be downloaded from: http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.4.1.3.cgi

The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the release of Cocoon 2.2.0. Apache Cocoon is a Spring-based framework (since version 2.2 of Cocoon) built around the concepts of separation of concerns and component-based development. Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of component pipelines, each component on the pipeline specializing on a particular operation. Cocoon 2.2 introduces the idea of blocks. A block is the unit of modularization in Cocoon, allowing the framework to be built upon. (in comparison: Eclipse uses the term plugins, OSGi uses bundles). Everything that goes beyond what Cocoon provides in its core modules (Spring integration, sitemap and pipeline implementation) is provided as block (see below). Custom Cocoon applications are also developed as blocks. A block can provide the following additional features: * general servlet services (any servlet can be managed by the Cocoon servlet-service framework), * special services that provide pipelines as services, * component services (Spring beans, Avalon services/components), * a container for classes and resources. A block is packaged as a Java archive (jar) following certain conventions concerning the directory structure. To read more information about the new features within Cocoon 2.2.0 please go to: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1420_1_1.html. Alternatively for more information about Apache Cocoon 2.2, please go to, please go to http://cocoon.apache.org or follow our getting started guide at http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1159_1_1.html.
