Eclipse 3.0 in June 2004.

Via Kevin Dangoor: the updated Eclipse 3.0 plan shows that we'll have to wait until June 2004 for a final Eclipse 3.0.

In my work, the most important new features are in the extended Java theme: "Improve support for Java-like source files" like JSP and "Support Java references outside Java code". Unfortunately, there is no indication that JSP support will extend beyond the basic code-completion, refactoring support, and syntax coloring for Java code embedded in JSP files. I'm still holding out some foolish hope that maybe, just maybe, IBM will move Websphere Studio's WYSIWYG HTML/JSP editor and Struts support into Eclipse while reserving the upcoming JavaServer Faces support for paying customers. Please? After all, by June 2004, Struts support will be the old hat to JSF's brand new bag.

Roller and JRoller tidbits.

Rick Ross has posted what he calls "probable items" for the JRoller terms of service (TOS). I think the items he outlined are quite reasonable. Also on JRoller, Lowem has posted a number of good suggestions for improving Roller including better navigation to past weblog entries, better handling of comments, and showing more weblogs and weblog posts on the Roller main page.

Kill Bill abbreviated review.

Very strange, very bloody in a Monthy Python Black Knight sort of way, and I enjoyed it. However, I did not like it nearly as much as QT's other flicks: RD, PF, or JB.
