DeepBlack ~ Java-based weblog app I found this gem on the Hibernate developer's mailing list this morning.

It's released under GPL, and I've been developing this for the last year or so and while I consider it a early beta, it's really got a lot of features, and I definitely believe it's a strong alternative to any webblog app out there, including Moveable Type.

DeepBlack is found here: http://deepblack.blackcore.com

And I do eat my own dogfood. To see it in action:

Looks nice Tim! And you gotta like this part:

Roller is another excellent blog program that's been gaining a good audience. I even admit to looking around the Roller code in the CVS every once a while for ideas.

Glad to hear we helped! Posted in Java at Jun 13 2003, 06:55:57 AM MDT 2 Comments

I can't find it again, but I would have sworn he wrote that in the future, he wants to supporthsql, and all java database, so end users and download and run it without additional configuration. Neat idea, I would say.

Just to be clear, I know one of you guys suggested earlier that Blojsom would probably be most people's blogging software of choice because you could download it and run it right away without configuring database settings, downloading the mysql driver, etc etc.
Now if there was a Roller download that came with hsql, I would think it could do the same thing (I believe the hsql license is very open) - just download Roller, put it on your webserver, and you're ready to blog. :-)
