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
- Introducing Android Studio - new IntelliJ IDEA based IDE for Android, wither Eclipse?

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.
