I'm returning from a way too busy 3-week vacation thus I thought I would give a little
update on some of the events occuring while I was out.
h2. Webinar
First of, a reminder that tomorrow I'll be doing a webinar for JBoss Tools and
Developer Studio in the http://jboss.org/webinars.html JBoss Developer Webinar Series.
The webinar will show off some of the JBoss Tools specific features in Eclipse but many of
the tips and tricks I will be showing applies just as well to a plain Eclipse so there
should be something for every taste ;)
You need to register to be able to join the webinar; the time and registration links are
as follows:
*Date:* Sept 1, 2010 **
*Time:* 16:00 UTC, 12:00 Noon Boston, 9:00 San Francisco, 12:00 Midnight Singapore**

h2. Clouds
Last week, Red Hat revealed its strategy for http://www.jboss.com/solutions/PaaS/ Red Hat
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and JBoss Tools/Developer Studio is a major part of these
efforts.
The functionallity we are adding is three levels of remote deployment and management of
JBoss Application servers.
First level is to perform this via SSH and SCP (secure shell/secure copy) allowing it to
work with all existings systems on your local or remote networks/clouds that you have SSH
access to (that should cover most cases today ;) . In current versions we only had a SSH
only server which did not integrate start/stop/debugging of JBoss AS easily; with this it
will.
Second level is to provide Eclipse tooling for the current DeltaCloud which enables us to
do portable start/stop of virtual machines at any cloud provider DeltaCloud has a driver
for (i.e. RHEV-M, EC2, Rackspace, etc.). This integration will make it super easy to start
and stop these instances and together with the SSH/SCP we are already well on our way to
have a fully "cloud" enabled IDE with some manual work required.
Third level is to integrate with the CoolingTower functionallity which adds some more
abstraction on and around the DeltaCloud API's allowing things like deployment and
provisioning to be done just as portable as DeltaCloud is for start/stop of virtual
machines. Within the IDE you will not notice this much, beyond the registration to the
CoolingTower service and then you can develop/deploy/debug your locally developed
applications in any cloud (public or private) that allows execution of Java EE based
applications.
We've already been working on it for a while and you will soon see some of this
functionallity in the milestone releases.
h2. BPEL at Eclipse
Now something completely different. We or rather Bob and Grid, have been working hard on
providing a BPEL runtime ( http://jboss.org/riftsaw Riftsaw) and related BPEL Tooling
(JBoss BPEL Tools). Initially we tried to do this as extensions on top of fine
http://www.eclipse.org/bpel Eclipse.org BPEL functionallity but for some reason there were
noone around the Eclipse BPEL project to react for any requests, patches or even doing
releases for a long time.
Thus we got tired of waiting and forked of our own BPEL Tooling so we could fix bugs, do
releases and move forward.
We did all this and still tried to bring life back into Eclipse.org BPEL project and
eventually we got commit access and recently Bob Brodt took over leadership of the BPEL
project. Thus we can now merge back our fork into Eclipse.org BPEL and start bringing some
life into it again!
Bob outlines the planned work in his blog announcing the move

h2. Questions/Comments ?
If you got questions about the Cloud and BPEL at Eclipse
https://inquiries.redhat.com/go/redhat/20100901MadMaxTools join the webinar tomorrow for
the Q&A or leave a comment here or on our forums.
Have fun!
