[RomaFramework-dev] New release 0.9.8.1 and Gossip

[Luca G. <luc...@as...>]

Hi to all community!
After some bug reporting I decided to release a very minor update. It's
identical to the previous 0.9.8 but roma.bat and roma.sh files are
corrected.
 
Why a new release? Because today Roma is the 38th project on Source Forge
ranking! :-D And yesterday there are been 959 download!
 
Thanks to the contribute of all the community: forum posts, bug issues and
translations (Gennaro Leo for the Italian translation of Web Site, Elifarley
Coelho for the portuguese translation).
 
Another important event is the new sponsorship of my new company: AssetData.
AssetData is an italian company specialized in the Human Resource and
E-Learning vertical markets. My goal is to improve Java development and,
obviously, all projects will build using Roma Framework. In AssetData my
contribute in the development of Roma Framework will be major than before...
 
Next release 0.9.9 will be the last release before official 1.0. There will
be new features such as:
 
- New rendering for Tabbed pane and Accordition Pane
- Enhanced form areas management
- First JSP View rendering to integrate JSP technology with Roma controller
in a flash
- Jasper Reports module working
 
In the official release 1.0 I'd like to provide the first beta version of
Roma Designer, a web application to use Roma graphically. Any volounteers?
The application, in my mind, should have these features:
 
- Developed with Roma itself :-D
- Simple and light web app, maybe bundled with Jetty and available as
separate war to be deployable in any AppServers
- It should display domain classes like a UML Class diagram
- It should be able to generate code integrating to the roma wizard APIs
- It should support at least Core, View, Flow and I18N aspects

Ciao,
