Their special clue:

For a monthly fee you get an “All-In-One” package, protecting your design. You receive a whole umbrella of tools to sue others that might or might not violate the design patent, just needs to pay xx Euro per month to those companies.
And of course you can get a bulk discount if you order multiple design patents at once.

Its seems just like a trendy new way of making money: Explain people that they need to patent everything.

I also wonder that there is not a single of those articles that do explain what a design patent really is and for what it is good for.
I am still waiting for the “Drive-Through-Patent-Station” where you get some nice stickers and T-Shirts together with a confirmation of your patent idea

Now looking at JavaFX:
They build some playback components to playback video. Additionally the JavaFX API ( http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/index.html ) has a Camera object, however it seems to have nothing to do with a “webcam”, it is an internal object used to render the UI. There is also no Microphone access. The plan seems to be like leaving this as opportunity to the users to program their own drivers to access the cam/mic. By looking at the way JMF was not developed since almost 10 years and all the negative feedback (or even “ANTI” (or counter-revolutionary) projects like FMJ ( http://fmj-sf.net/ ) I doubt that this is an opportunity lot of people will consider.

Btw: You can also participate in the discussion in the Jira issue on JavaFX bugtracker: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-3458 Vote for it!

Demo Video:

The JAR contains tasks to generate a XSD from your project LZX files, by doing that:

• You have full Schema Validation in Eclipse and it will show you all your XML schema errors
• The validation is aware of ALL tags and attributes: The LZX base-components(+incubator) and your project specific code
• You get content-sensitive drop down menus for Tags and Attributes
• The XSD Schema also contains type-restriction, defaultvalues and documentation for Tags and Attributes parsed from your source files
• there is a task to trim the schema from your files again as the OpenLaszlo compiler does not accept schema and prefixes (yet )

… actually what needs to be done now is to wrap my library in an Eclipse Project so that the steps that I currently do using ANT are automatically done by the IDE.

There is also a hook in the JAR-library to transfer an existing “Non-XSD-aware” project into a XSD aware project. I will publish something about that soon.

Based on the XSD you could also generate Java files with JAXB, for example you can create a whole Java representative of the LFC and your project … or you could potentially create some data-services that automatically generate LZX from Java and vice verca…

No paging / endlesslist for the mails

You still have those old-school back/forward buttons on top. Modern Email clients just have a endless list that loads new items if you scroll on the bottom. You could still combine that with paging 1000 items for example. If somebody scrolls really fast there is also no need to load all items really… So if you implement it clever you could really load 1 mio items in the list and scroll down to item 510.030 without need for buttons. Or live-filter on the results showing the number of results based on the current search …
Buttons to page new items has no “jump to last” or “jump to first”

Following use-case: You search for “invoice” in your mailbox, you want to goto the VERY FIRST or LAST EMAIL. You will have to click on the button to go to the first item until you have the first page. Why is there still no “jump to first/last page” button?
Suprising that those issues still not on their feature list.

As part of this process we have to review a lot of the code and fix it. The overall quality of the app should improve on that a lot. The refactoring is done in several steps:

• Remove HibernateUtil and all Hibernate references
• Integrate with Spring Session Config and loader
• Use Annotated Injection Method of Spring to load all references in Services, Servlets and in Axis2 Web-Service
• Write Test Cases build with a Mock Interface to test the refactoring

I’m pretty sure this will reveal (and has already ) some potential improvements to our implementation.

To invoke the OpenMeetings SOAP API, you can also use REST instead of SOAP. There are now some docs about it:

http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/RestMethods

http://www.openmeetings.de will be the general landing zone for people to get started with OpenMeetings.
The Demo Servers are now located at http://demo.openmeetings.de

Besides that we released a new Version, that includes some major new features:

• Multi-Whiteboard, you can add new whiteboard instances, each whiteboard can have the full range of tools and documents inside.
• Advanced File-Explorer, Drag and Drop Interface for managing files, including possibility to create a document tree with folders.
• Private and Public Drive in File-Explorer. The File-Explorer has two different views, one is the Private Drive and the other the Public Drive. The Private Drive always contains the same files. Those files are only visible to the user currently loggedin. The Public Drive is bound not to the user, but to the conference room. All users in the conference room have access to the Public Drive.
• Save whiteboards. You can save each whiteboard instance as a file. The file is located in the File-Explorer and can be drag and drop’ed and organized like any other document, image or folder.
• New User-Level: SOAP/Web-Service only. For security reasons there is a new user-level. You can now create user-accounts that have only the ability to access via SOAP. In former versions you always need an admin account.
• MyRooms section. Each user has now by default 2 personal rooms that are always accessible exclusive for that user. There are buttons to enter those rooms from the dashboard
• VoIP-Integration. Together with our Finish partner and the Open Source Department of Kvarken region we have done a VoIP integration by using an applet for the audio part. For further information see VoIPAndSIP
