Chronon 2.0 Offers Post Execution Logging

Thursday, October 13, 2011 - 12:34 by EclipseWeb Web
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.

Open Source Software = Predictable Software

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - 10:43 by EclipseWeb Web
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.

The team of committers has expanded considerably and, although the team is now distributed geographically, we have a great working relationship. I'm delighted that these projects are now community collaborations rather than the work of a single vendor.
The theme of Virgo 3.0 is better integration with EclipseRT technologies. To that end, we have created a Jetty variant of the Virgo web server and have switched from Felix to Equinox implementations of some OSGi services.

Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - 17:18 by EclipseWeb Web
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.
