JBoss and Microsoft Partners

Image
By
JBoss has today announced that they are to work closely with Microsoft to enhance interoperability between JBoss middleware and Windows Server products.

Four key areas have been identified that are suggested will benefit both JBoss and Microsoft customers:


  • Security Interoperability
  • Web Services Interoperability
  • JEMS Management via MOM
  • Optimised use of SQL Server for Hibernate and EJB 3.0


The full press release can be read here.

I think that this is good strategy by both Microsoft and JBoss as interoperability is surely one of the biggest areas that traditionally causes headaches. Many enterprises have both Microsoft and Java systems deployed and I can see how this partnership will benefit both Microsoft and JBoss. For Microsoft, they push SQL Server and .Net applications communicating with JBoss via web services. For JBoss, they are partnering with one of the biggest players in the market which will surely add a lot of credance to the JBoss range of products, plus they get enhanced interoperability and performance out of the Microsoft products.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out and what actually happens, but I think this is a good move for Microsoft, JBoss and the enterprise software market as a whole.

A Simple Makefile for a GTK/GTKMM Project

By Anonymous
When compiling small applications, its fairly easy just to compile using g++ from the command line. If you’re compiling anything more complex than a single file, its probably easier to use a Makefile. This example Makefile demonstrates how to compile an application that uses the GTKMM library. NAME=my-app CFLAGS=-g -Wall -o $(NAME) GTKFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0` SRCS=main.cc myapp.cc CC=g++ # Do all all: main # Compile main: $(SRCS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(GTKFLAGS) # Clean clean: rm -f $(NAME) rm -f *.h~ rm -f *.cc~ rm -f Makefile~ rm -f *.glade~

Changing Default Search Provider in Firefox on Linux Mint

By
On Linux Mint, the default version of Firefox is installed and configured to allow the following search engines to be queried directly from the address bar: Yahoo! Startpage DuckDuckGo Wikipedia Mint defines these as the default available set of search engines based upon 3 criteria (funding to Linux Mint, privacy support and whether the search engine is non-commercial). Other search engines such as Google, Bing or Twitter, etc. can easily be added into the default version of Firefox however. To add a different search provider, browse to Search Engines At the bottom of the page, click on the icon of the requested search engine, then click on the ... button in the URL bar and select the Add Search Engine option. You then have the option to change the default search engine within Firefox preferences to your new choice.
