This is for a bunch of people I know that routinely use Eclipse on their Intel Macs:
EclipseZone - Eclipse and Intel Macs - apply …: “It’s quite likely that this is a driver issue with Mac OS X on Intel that was causing some of these problems, and Apple’s released QuickTime 7.1.1 that claims to fix some issues with startup items for Intel macs. In any case, bug 142892 has been tracking it, and it looks like applying this fix solves whatever the graphics card issue is, and Eclipse is running again. “
I didn’t have this particular problem (UI is freezed, even though mouse pointer moves, and you cannot even login from remote) when running Eclipse, but rather with other applications, like Opera for example. However, the symptoms were the same, so I dutifully upgraded Quicktime to 7.1.1, hoping they won’t surface again.

After a decent amount of procrastination, I finally updated the version of WordPress this site is running on to the latest and greatest 2.0.3. This post is just to test that everything is hunky-dory.

Great news on the Atom front! The ARI project I mentioned a few days ago has changed its name to Abdera. This gives it a new fancy name while at the same time removing any ambiguity around its “reference” character. I’m really looking forward for it to come out of incubation.
As I had anticipated, I changed my code to use Abdera instead of ROME and it was a relatively quick and painless process. Just changing all Java package names and keeping references to “Entry” and “Feed” classes was enough to get most of the code to compile cleanly.
Last but not the least: James Snell suggested on the ROME developers’ list that Rome could use Abdera instead of its own Atom implementation, and he was met with loud cheers, as Pat reports. Personally, I’m all for dropping ROME’s feed model and replacing it with one based on Atom, as Atom can do everything that RSS does, and much better.
There’s also been talk of moving ROME to Apache, a move which I would personally applaud.
