While working on bugs in Mule IDE, I usually push out snapshots to people for verification. I automated the upload process to the forge recently, but it seems that the default values were not chosen carefully enough. By default, my script pushes out to the release update site instead of the snapshot update site, which is clearly not what I want. (more…)
Today, MuleSoft released a brand new product, Mule Data Integrator, which is available for download here. Mule Data Integrator (MDI) is free for developers to use and includes an Eclipse-based designer that is fully integrated with Mule IDE.
We have just released version 2.0.1 of Mule IDE. This release provides an important bug fix (the new configuration wizard no longer overwrites existing files without prior notice). It also provides support for the new Mule Data Integrator, which is about to be released. (more…)
MuleSoft is proud to announce that Mule IDE 2.0 has been released.
Mule IDE 2.0 is a development and testing environment based on Eclipse. It supports the following features: (more…)
Silicon Valley Code Camp 2009 is coming up quickly. It will be held on October 3rd and 4th at Foothill College in Los Altos, CA. I attended last year and found the talks to be very informative and the attendees really engaged. It’s a great format, open to anyone and free to anyone who pre-registers. Last year there was a real mix of topics and this year they are introducing tracks to help guide attendees.
I decided to submit a session this year and will be talking about dead-simple integration for web app development. (more…)
In a previous blog post about the Mule IDE, I described its configuration wizard, which makes it very easy to create a Mule configuration file by selecting the modules and transports you want to include. Today I’d like talk more about what’s going on under the hood and explain how the Mule IDE discovers modules and transports from the Mule distribution directory.
If you’re working with the Mule IDE, the Mule source code is automatically attached to the Mule JARs. This allows you to browse and step into the source code while you’re developing Mule applications. The Mule IDE looks for files with the naming convention mule-*-src.zip in $MULE_HOME/src and automatically attaches them to the Mule JARs.
If you’re evaluating Mule Enterprise, the source code is not included with the Mule download. To attach the source, simply download the Mule community source code ZIP file into the src directory under your Mule home directory and restart Eclipse.
If you are already a Mule Enterprise customer, you can download the community or enterprise source code ZIP file from the Downloads page on the customer portal. The enterprise souce code has additional classes not available in the community source and is available to Mule Enterprise customers only.
Almost any application you build using Mule will require some kind of data transformation. One thing that I frequently hear come up on the user lists, when I’m talking at JUGs, etc, is how to easily map data between XML formats, Java Beans, and flat files. If you have used Mule at all, you’ll know there are several solutions already for doing this, both as part of Mule and available through a number of great MuleForge projects.
However, one new offering has caught my eye recently – the Data Transformer for Mule ESB from Oakland Software. (more…)
We have been running Galaxy successfully on our in-house servers and laptops for demo purposes for some time now and decided that having a running image of Galaxy on Amazon’s EC2 was the next logical step. Galaxy in the cloud gives us the opportunity to expose a running instance to a much wider audience than might otherwise interact directly with the product. (more…)
Today I released the 2.0 RC1 release of the Mule IDE. Not much changed since the last development snapshot but we have tested the IDE a lot internally on a variety of operating systems since then.
If you upgrade from a development snapshot, note that you’ll have to change the location of the update site: the snapshots were located under the snapshots distribution area but the new milestone release is located under http://dist.muleforge.org/mule-ide/updates/3.4/. Note that you have to create a new update site URL in order to install the release candidate.
