Another Chapter Begins: At the end of this week, I will no longer be employed by BEA Systems. It has been a great 4 years working at BEA, and undoubtedly the highlight of my career thus far. I have enjoyed the opportunity to write for the BEA developer community, and to lead Tooling at BEA these last 3 years.

BEA Workshop, ** Now With AJAX **: We have recently released a tech-preview of an integration of BEA Workshop with IceFaces. You can try out this new feature from our Eclipse Download site. The ICEfaces tooling feature is an extension of the award-winning JSF tools already shipping in Workshop. It's fully AppXRay enabled, which provides edit-time error detection, Smart Editor assistance with tag attributes, and smart navigation between markup, JSF configuration files, and Java types -- all the familiar capabilities that Workshop JSF tooling offers can now be used to help develop an Ajax web application.
