We are so proud to announce our general availability of ColdBox LITE!  Hmm, what is ColdBox LITE?

ColdBox LITE (CBL) is an MVC framework with a subset of features of the ColdBox Platform that deal with MVC only. Thus, providing a light-weight conventions based MVC framework. Since ColdBox itself is built with modularity, CBL was the last piece we wanted to decouple from the platform to provide yet another standalone library for ColdFusion. CBL focuses on providing developers a light weight MVC engine in two flavors:

• CBL Standard
• CBL Standard with ORM

The ORM flavor includes all of our ORM additions such as Active Entity, ORM base and virtual services, Hibernate criteria and detached criteria builders and ORM Dependency Injection. CBL also includes WireBox as the standard engine that provides access to the model, dependency injection and persistence.

We are proud to announce WireBox version 1.7.0. This is minor release that brings some important fixes but also some cool new enhancements. You can read in detail about this release in our What's new with WireBox 1.7.0.

If you're using external Jar files in your project, you may be loading them at run time with Mark Mandel's JavaLoader project.  (CF10 allows for dynamic loading of Jar files, but for people still on CF8, or 9, JavaLoader is the defacto method)
If you're manually creating and using the JavaLoader CFC, please remember that WireBox has a dedicated "JavaLoader" namespace in its mapping DSL to handle this for you using ColdBox's JavaLoader Plugin.  Here all you have to do:
