Every once in a while, my Google alerts brings up something that makes me say ‘that is kind of cool’. For instance, today this announcement that a fleet of US Navy destroyers will be using a Java rules engine, called Jesse, that is built on top of Eclipse.
I realize there are lots of rules engines built on top of Eclipse but having Eclipse deployed on a destroyer sounds kind of neat. I also didn’t realize that Sandia National Labs was doing Eclipse development; kind of cool too.

Jesse is not built on eclipse, there is just an plugin for eclipse for Jesse. Two very different things.
Cool, though I hope they don’t use the Launch framework for anything other than software… there are still a few kinks to work out 😉
Actually I don’t find it that cool that Open Source software is used in/on war machines used to bring suffering and death over children, women and men.
Max,
It would appear you are correct. I guess I did not read it carefully enough…
