The Eclipse Foundation is pleased to announce a new technical conference focused on connecting the latest software development tools, Agile methods and people across the entire application lifecycle.

Version 2 of the debugger supports post execution logging, meaning that programmers now can "insert" logging statements into code after the application has already run. Because Chronon does not actually run the application, but simply shifts it from one state into another, post execution logging has an extra advantage compared to traditional logging. The results are instant. Even if your program ran for 5 hours and you put a logging statement on a line that is normally hit after 4 hours, Chronon will instantly show you the results.

The stereotypical image of an open source project is a bunch of hackers working in dark rooms, scratching their itches and releasing software “when it is ready.� Of course, this is far from reality for many of the mainstream, mature open source communities like Linux, Mozilla, Eclipse and others. These open source communities have very mature and sophisticated release processes that deliver new updates in a very predictable manner and are the envy of the software industry, including commercial software vendors.

Chronon Systems has announced a preview of Chronon Recording Server.
The Chronon Server records the internal state of your application while it's being executed and saves it to a 'recording' file. The recording can then be used to play back the entire execution of the Java program on any machine, without the need for the original environment. Thus it's almost like a "DVR for Java programs".
