Yeah, a feature I didn’t had time to add for the 1.0 release. Still not complete, but is moving forward.

Localizing StupidZombie in Spanish!
Saturday, June 20th, 2009StupidZombie 1.1: Now faster
Saturday, June 13th, 2009Just finished branching StupidZombie 1.1. If you want to take a look on the code (making changes) then do the following:
svn co https://kenai.com/svn/stupidzombie~source-code-repository/Branches/1.1
So, what’s new? Well, some speedup came for free this time. I decided to upgrade all the major libraries of StupidZombie and some of them have important improvements in term of speed and memory utilization, like the usage of the new class ‘XmlRpcLiteHttpTransportFactory’:
HashMap result = new HashMap();
XmlRpcClient xmlrpc = null;
XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
try {
config.setServerURL(new URL(BUNDLE.getString(directory)));
xmlrpc = new XmlRpcClient ();
xmlrpc.setConfig(config);
xmlrpc.setTransportFactory(new XmlRpcLiteHttpTransportFactory(xmlrpc));
Object[] params = new Object[]{name, url};
result =
(HashMap) xmlrpc.execute("weblogUpdates.ping", params);
Next update is to fix (once for all) the menu handling in OSX. After that localization is the next milestone!

Java store and StupidZombie
Sun Microsystems (or should I say Oracle ;)) unveiled their strategy for Java apps. The project (code named Vector) is an application store, similar to the Apple store but with the potential of being bigger and oriented to desktop applications:
The Java Warehouse is the repository for Java and JavaFX applications submitted by developers for distribution through the Java Store to hundreds of millions of desktops worldwide.
Right now the offer a private invitation and I luckily got accepted to try their beta program. And guess which application will be part of the Java store?
Dear Jose V Nunez Z,
Congratulations! Your application to the Java Warehouse was reviewed, and you have been approved. You may now start submitting your applications at the link below.
Developer Dashboard »
Please do not reply to this email, as this is an automated email which no person monitors. If you have questions, please refer to the FAQ page.Sincerely,
The Java Warehouse Team
Very excited, I hope that people will get interested in the application and will start requesting features. Right now I’m working out some Icon details but as soon is ready I will post the link of the application at the Java store so you can play with it.
StupidZombie world domination!
