3. Javadocs for OGCE Components 31Thu, 04 Dec 2008 11:17:00 -0500ue
   If you want to make Javadocs for OGCE components (the portal, GTLAB, Axis services, etc), use the command
   
   mvn javadoc:javadoc -f path/to/component/pom.xml
   
   For example, the GTLAB javadoc can be made with the command
   
   mvn javadoc:javadoc -f jsf_standalone/pom.xml
   
   The docs will be located in jsf_standalone/target/site. Load with your browser.

6. SC08 Demo Time Correction 30Fri, 14 Nov 2008 20:49:00 -0500ue
   The IU booth demo is 1:00-3:00 on Wednesday, November 19th. These are roughly 2 30 minute demos at 1:00 and 2:00, with 30 minute breaks.
7. OGCE Portal 2.4 Posted 30Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:30:00 -0500ue
   Version 2.4 is ready. This features the File Manager applet from the TeraGrid User Portal, as well as numerous bug fixes and miscellaneous enhancements. See http://collab-ogce.blogspot.com/2008/09/tagged-preview-of-ogce-portal-24.html for more details.
   
   Tagged SC08 releases of OGCE Axis Services and GTLAB are also available.
8. OGCE Web Site and Download Reorganization 30Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:16:00 -0500ue
   The OGCE Web Site is being revised to better reflect the reorganization of our downloadable components. Here are the major download suites:
   
   • The OGCE portlet-based Grid portal: this download combines Tomcat, Gridsphere portlet container, and many OGCE portlets developed with OGCE libraries.
   • The OGCE Axis Web Services Suite: this includes several OGCE services (currently GPIR, the Resource Prediction Service, and the Resource Discovery Service) combined into an integrated, one-step build.
     
   • The OGCE Workflow Suite: this suite contains workflow composer and engine (XBaya), the GFAC application factory, XRegistry, and related components.
     
   • GTLAB: This is a collection of Java Server Faces tags and supporting code for building Grid portlets and gadgets. The current version supports simple tag pipelining (so you can associate multiple tasks with a single HTML button click). Tags are no longer limited to Grid clients--any thing can be used.
   • OGCE Gadget Container: this is a preview of our work to build an Open Social and iGoogle-compatible container. We view this as the successor to the portlet standard we have used in the past.
   See the web site for more information.
