Sun Java Caps Horizons Emea -- what a great event

recently i have been to Horizons Event Emea ... and what should i say? IT WAS GREAT. from the first time now i had a chance to talk directly to e.g. engineering, support etc. the sun folks were all really open to new ideas and or enhancments that could be done to the java caps suite. i really really apreciate these kind of events and consider them as a key to success for software vendors in the future.

we had several discussions on how to make the platform more valuable as it is today. one of the outcomes (at least for me) is that i will try to edit the Java Caps Grok Wiki and provide information to other people inside the community about experiences and knowhow that i really had to learn the hard way. you can see my first baby steps here this thing deals about differences between STCMS and Sun Java Message Queue aka JMQ.

more to come...

why is an ESB tool like JCAPS 6 unable to use Javadoc ?

hi *,

i just wanted to know if anyone out there understands why sometimes the most expensive tools (i like JCAPS really a lot) sometimes have to have such HUGE shortcomings?

as i understand it right now JAVA Caps Version 6 and lower do not support Javadoc of e.g. external libraries? can this be true?

in a world of java where javadoc has always been a good companion for us why omit this festure? it is really really important to some of us out there...

ill log a feature request now ;-) ...
