The AppFuse Team is pleased to announce the release of AppFuse 2.0 M5!
This release marks a milestone in the features of AppFuse 2.x. This release adds CRUD code generation, full source support (just like 1.x) and XFire integration. In addition, we've fixed all the issues related to switching persistence frameworks, and you should now be able to easily switch from using Hibernate to to iBATIS or JPA. The videos<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Demos+and+Videos>have been updated for M5. The Easy CRUD with Struts 2 video<http://static.appfuse.org/movies/2.0/struts2-crud.mov>shows how code generation currently works. AppFuse 2.0 is available as a Maven archetype. For information on creating a new project using this release, please see the QuickStart Guide<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/AppFuse+QuickStart>or the Hello World video <http://static.appfuse.org/movies/2.0/helloworld.mov>. If you've used AppFuse 1.x, but not 2.x, you'll want to read the FAQ<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/FAQ>and join the user mailing list <http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Mailing+Lists> if you have any questions. The Maven Reference Guide<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Maven+2>has a map of Ant -> Maven commands. Maven for Newbies <http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Maven+for+Newbies> might also be useful if you've never used Maven before. There is some support for Ant<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/FAQ#FAQ-usingant>in this release. For more information, please see the 2.0 M5 Release Notes<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Release+Notes+2.0+M5>. If you'd like to use AppFuse offline (or download everything at once), you may want to grab the dependencies<https://appfuse.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=7516>and extract them into your ~/.m2/repository directory. The 2.0 series of AppFuse has a minumum requirement of the following specification versions: - Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0 - Java 5 for Development (Java 1.4 for deployment using the Retrotranslator Plugin<http://mojo.codehaus.org/retrotranslator-maven-plugin/examples/project-translation.html> ) We appreciate the time and effort everyone has put toward contributing code and documentation, posting to the mailing lists, and logging issues. Thanks for using AppFuse - we hope you enjoy this release! Matt -- http://raibledesigns.com
