The first beta release code of BBWeblog V2 is currently checked into CVS. The V2 code adds new functionality, like a search facility, and all data access (almost all at this point) has been rewritten to use Hibernate 3.0.
The war for download will be available soon.

After a period of no activity I have started working on v2 codeline of BBWeblog again, the weblog/bullet-in board app that I run on my website.

I've been replacing the use of JDBC with Hibernate, and I'm also thinking of adding a Lucene based search - some interesting new features coming soon :-)

The install instructions in the project's docs area have been updated and are not fairly comprehensive. Any feedback welcomed! Please post issues to the project's forums.

I've just replaced all the checked in dependent jars for the ant build for BBWeblog V1 - appologies if anyone has checked out the source tree from CVS and attempted the build.. :-) Its now all working fine.

V1 source code and deployable WAR has been uploaded today.
The V1 codeline will not be developed further as I am refactoring to use Hiberbate for the persistence - this will be uploaded (as V2) as soon as I have it ready. New feature changes and further development will then be made against the V2 code line.
