The AppFuse Team is pleased to announce the release of AppFuse 2.0 RC1! This release marks a huge step in the march to releasing AppFuse 2.0. This release puts the finishing touches on the AppFuse Maven Plugin<http://static.appfuse.org/plugins/appfuse-maven-plugin>(AMP), which offers CRUD generation, as well as the ability to change AppFuse from "embedded mode" to "full source" (like 1.x). In addition, we've addressed over 100 issues in preparation for the final 2.0 release. We hope to fix any bugs related to this release and release 2.0 Final in the next week or two.
The videos <http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Demos+and+Videos> still represent how M5 works, but things have been simplified (now you don't need to run * appfuse:install* after *appfuse:gen*). 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>. 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 RC1 Release Notes<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Release+Notes+2.0+RC1>. The 2.0 series of AppFuse has a minumum requirement of the following specification versions: - Java Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 (2.1 for JSF) - Java 5+ 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
