ShareMedia received yesterday a award from Softpedia. Not much, this only tells that it does not contain malware, but I’m beginning to see links and small reviews from well-known sites such as :
ShareMedia is a photo manager based on Eclipse RCP. (open source / EPL)
Main features are :
This new release (0.3.2) includes :
For SWT/RCP developpers :
The Nebula Gallery Widget and the SAT toolkit where initially developed for this application so it is a good example on how they can be used.
Used libraries : SWT, RCP, Nebula widgets, LWJGL, DerbyDB, SmackAPI, Drew Noakes’s metadata Extractor, GData, FlickrAPI, SAT.
Screencasts :
Part 1 : Connect to a Picasa account, 3D and 2D fullscreen display
Part 2 : Download and upload photo, see metadata, create album and intelligent lists.
For the next release, I’m looking for some Java feedback. If you’re a Java developer and you already worked on the following topics, please drop a comment here.
- Writing EXIF / IPTC tags. (ShareMedia only have read support right now)
- Working with videos (creating thumbnails, playing in a SWT UI or OpenGL Canvas).
Thanks,
I took some time today to update Wordpress (this blog), Mantis (Sharemedia bugtracker) and the linux distro of my server. Everything is now up to date.
Last time I tried to update Mantis from 1.0.0a4 to 1.1.0 the upgrade process was always failing so I gave up. This time with 1.1.1, it only took a single clic to update. This also fixed the problem with mantis connect (early versions did not support php5) thus Mylyn can be used again to query the tracker. Cool.
JSF : Shale test
Database : HSQLDB (when using a compatible ORM tool, like hibernate)
SMTP : Dumbster
My blog was offline the whole day because of a network problem. Anyway, I’ll commit this evening 2 new effects for SAT :
- Shake, perfect for failed authentifications (like in OSX).
- Grow.
The API was also improved.
The SAT Demo (JavaWebstart) is now up to date.
