I needed a sample application and created Struts Resume to accomplish this. Shortly after I extracted AppFuse out of it and released 1.0 in late 2003: http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/appfuse_1_0_released There's a good article on java.net that explains most of the history. http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/07/15/thefuse.html > * Young developers they are interested in *Appfuse*? what offer *Appfuse *to > them ? > It basically eliminates the first week or two of a project. With the choice of frameworks in Java-land, there's a lot of configuration necessary to integrate them. AppFuse does this for you and sets up authentication and user management. Here's an article I wrote in the Ant-based (1.x) days that explains 7 Reasons to use AppFuse. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-appfuse > * Safety web with *Appfuse*, is this a weak point for *Appfuse *over its > competitors ? any regrets ? > There's nothing we do special apart from what each framework provides. There's a good chance that if they have security issues, we have them too. * The adapatation of *Appfuse *3.0 with Web 3.0, a future project? can he > resist the new technologies? > AppFuse 3 will consist of services and UI, as separate modules. Services will be RESTful and will likely consist of Rails, Grails and Java (CXF or Jersey). The UI options will be GWT and Flex. It's quite a departure from previous versions, but I think SOFEA is here to stay and I'd like AppFuse to be the kickstart for it. > * Can we invest in *Appfuse *3.0 to make large web project ? > Yes, you can certainly help make AppFuse 3 happen faster. Look for issues assigned to 2.1-M2 and provide patches for them.

If I did, I'd miss them. ;-) I hope to start developing it next year (realistically in March) and have a milestone release in Summer 2010. > If its possible too, i would be very pleased if you record a video when you > answer to those questions (as a TV interview) to diffuse it in my show. > How about an on-site interview?
