This Monday and Tuesday I will attend the EMBRACE workshop Understanding, creating and deploying EMBRACE compliant WebServices. I will present there the ongoing work in Bioclipse to support services and web services in particular.
Johannes joined a Bioclipse Workshop a long time ago, and introduced the participants to the idea of using XMPP (aka Jabber) for asynchronous web services. SOAP is commonly user to run webservices over HTTP, but via (SMTP) email and XMPP is possible too (see SOAP over XMPP). Using HTTP as transport layer has problems. The biggest problem, is possibly that HTTP connections are timed out, e.g. by intermediate router.
Mark pointed me to the embed functionality of Gist, product on GitHub where I host some todo software and a git mirror of CDK 1.2.x .
After some difficulties this week with making an export of CDK plugins in the Bioclipse2 Cheminformatics feature of with the cdk-eclipse software, I got the following cute Bioclipse2 script up and running:
A new environment means new tools. Bioclipse is Eclipse RCP-based, so colleagues work with Eclipse and are much more into Eclipse too. For example, into Mylyn. Mylyn is a tool to track tasks and assign context to them. The tasks I am interested in (for this blog item), is fixing bug reports. Mylyn is rather suited for this, as it allows linking Java source files to bug reports.
About a week ago, I hooked up my GitToDo software with Freemind. This allows me to organize the projects I am working on, without having to code this in GitToDo directly.
Five days ago, my chem-bla-ics blog turned 3. Here’s the first post . It defined:
As you might have seen, we, Uppala and the EBI, are working on the next generation JChemPaint. JChemPaint is an editor, and therefore, consists of a model (IChemModel), a view (IRenderer) and a controller (IController). See the many posts in Gilleain’s blog.
Some time ago Noel ran a poll on chemoinformatics and cheminformatics , so I set up a poll too in part #1 of this series . The outcome is clear: The Obernai meeting strongly suggested chemoinformatics [1], but the start of the open access Journal of Cheminformatics is the killer.
Just updated Bioclipse2 with Jmol 11.6 RC 18:
