Hibernate 3.2 support on NetBeans 6.5

got frameworks for model? how about hibernate? unlike before we manually plug the framework to the IDE, before we can fully utilized it but, on 6.5 it is fully supported for hibernate 3.2, no need to download or plug-in it in, and of course we can disabled it as we wanted. Its already included under JavaEE distribution standard package. Creating new hibernate artifact is very straight forward. it comes with the folder file selection. we could choose wizzard to create such Hibernate Configuration File, Hibernate Mapping File, Hibernate Mapping Files, POJOs from Database and the HibernateUtil Java and lastly the Hibernate Reverse Engineering File Editor Support. and I guess most of us would prefer to have wizzard to do things for us, so that we will more focus on business logic rather than solving the Object relation mapping thing that will eat our precious time. So this is really a good feature for hibernate users.

IMO Chrome

I was playing chrome 2 weeks now, since it release on first week of september. I have different browser installed on my machine before then, using Firefox 3, Safari,  MS IE7  and Opera. Im switching those IE in my web developement. In Two weeks duration of using chrome I  found out that it has indeed many advatages from the other browser, one thing very noticeble is its speed, this is because chrome was design for multi threaded browser, if you are running on windows platform you can inspect it in your Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), each tab has it own thread and of course it process independently. It has also a lot of goodies for development, and it is enabled by default from fresh intallation of chrome, unlike firefox and Safari, we need to download plug-in for it or tweak the configuration to browser setting to enabled such functionaltiy. Chrome has this Javascript Console that works the same as firefox firebug, selecting elements on it will highlight the page view.One very cool about its development tools is the browser has Task Manager(Shift+Esc) itself, pages name, memory usage, cpu and network statistics is there, if we want to look statistics summary it has by clicking the Stats for nerd links at bottom left of the Task Manager. And overall strenght of chrome is its Javascript, Cnet has a benchmark(click this link) for this. I think this time around the XML will then replace by JSon.  I hope soon well have the Netbeans Javascript on chrome, this browser totally rocks.

And if we wanted to have secure browsing chrome has the incognito(Ctrl+Shift+N) browser, I like its incognito logo, im googling half an hour now I cannot find it, I guess google just hide this incognito perhapse it was its name(hehehe), I think i'd better  post it on chromespot.com, Lastly It has  a simple and very nice look and feel, very professional. 

NetBeans recap Aug ' 08

Its the beginning of the month September, I realize I should check all the things I've done on the netbeans, since next month, about mid October we will the release the final 6.5, each day is very exciting new fixes and feature has been integrated in every development build release. Also today when I check the "Move the Needle" program which I was officialy accepted just last week, i was amazed by its result I am doing doing 868 hits (http://www.netbeans.org/community/teams/evangelism/mtn-last.html) wow, its doing good. On Issue Zilla I do have 40 issues (Issue List) as of this moment, 2 P1, 3 P2 and the rest P3 issues, I hope devac now and me could figure out what really the problem of the Netbeans JavaScript Plugin on IE7, its doing pretty good on Mozilla Firefox, just this IE7. heres the link maybe you could help us :0) http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=144669. I will try this now on glassfish 3, maybe its with the deployment on Save stuff feature, but the IDE is quite stable and fully functional when browser get crash, We cannot also find good trace on dbmon.exe tools. maybe if you have good tools may we borrow it? :0) . anway this is how really fun begin and things get interesting. And lastly im proud of having 289 points in NetCat (http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/65/participants.html)huh! its really hard to earn those points, but its fun a lot of fun and learning to, collorabting each other idea.
