Unsupported Operation Episode 83 Misc * JDK 8 build b90 - closures work well on my Mac, except for when using the method handler reference i.e. Integer::parseInt * TestNG 6.8.5 released, along with new Eclipse plugin * Gerrit 2.5.4 released, small security upgrade, 2.6rc3 out, along with 2.7rc1 ( two RC’s out concurrently is odd, I knew the Doctor crossing his timelines would have repercussions ). * OSDC NZ2013 website now live - now sure when that actually happened. If there was ever a developer focused conference in NZ to go to - I think this would be the more appropriate. * JavaFX Gradle Plugin 0.3 * IntelliJ IDEA 13 EAP opened

Google * Introducing Android Studio - new IntelliJ IDEA based IDE for Android, wither Eclipse? * New shiny Google+ * Google Cloud APIs

Scala * Scalabitz launched this week - new news site collating everything Scala orientated. * Scalabitz led me to g8ling - a website cataloging giter8 templates. * Giter8 itself is a Scala based project templating tool, similar to maven archetypes but project/language independent (tho mostly used by scala), template projects are stored on github.
