Because of a migrane attack earlier today which I firmly believe was caused by severe jat lag, I could not attend as much on day #2 as I had earlier decided to, and that's the very reason why I will keep this entry as short as possible. First and foremost, the big news of course is that jdk7 will have a module system which will be able to interoperate with OSGi module system. I know there must be a lot of literatures already written about it, so I won't spend any more time talking about it. On day #1, there were two talks scheduled right after each other in post lunch session and they were about two projects in incubation: first one called Apache Aries, primarily contributed by IBM engineers, and the second one was Eclipse Gemini project, contributed by Oracle and VMWare (read SpringSource).
