I have uploaded the talk I did at SD West 2009 on Yahoo! Video and here it is: Managing Software Debt – Chris Sterling @ SD West 2009 @ Yahoo! Video
A very exciting announcement was sent to the JINI-USERS mailing list on April 12th which I hope will rejuvenate Jini technology. One of the items mentioned was the possible incubation of Jini/JavaSpaces as an Apache project. In my humble opinion, I see this as a great move for Jini technology. Jini has lived in a [...]
On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of presenting on Jini at the Seattle Java Users Group meeting. During the presentation I found myself speaking about the importance of mobile code in developing an SOA solution. Attempting to define SOA in an explicit way seems to be a daunting challenge. Most of the definitions that I [...]
Tomorrow night I will be presenting “The Jini Landscape” to the Seattle Java Users Group at 7pm. If you are in the Seattle metropolitan area, please stop by.

I am working on a personal project right now where I am developing Jini-aware services. Working with a “true” SOA is quite nice once you have the mindset. There are a few areas of Jini development which still cause me some grief though: Jini starter kit distribution- the lack of base service startup scripts for [...]
After some restructuring and multiple submissions, the Jini starter kit jars and the starter kit zip archive itself are now located at the main Maven repository. You may find these artifacts in the net.jini and com.sun.jini groupId directories. I did notice that the Jini starter kit and the start example scripts from Brian Murphy were [...]
I have progressed a bit on the Maven Jini plug-in over the past few weeks in my spare time. It has been quite an experience working with Jelly, JEXL, and Ant commands to create a somewhat cohesive environment. I have learned many of the limitations with Maven in terms of property and variable scope, advanced [...]
All of you who are already on the Jini users mailing list probably have already heard about this great talk put on by Jim Waldo, a distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems.
