Pebble 2.0.0 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Pebble 2.0.0, which is now available to download. Here are the key things you need to know about it.

Pebble is a lightweight, open source, Java EE blogging tool designed for individuals and small groups.
It requires Java 5.0, JSP 2.0 and Servlets 2.4 (e.g. Apache Tomcat 5.5 or GlassFish).
It doesn't require a database.
There are screenshots here.
Further information can be found at http://pebble.sourceforge.net.

Download it and you can be blogging in just a couple of minutes. Enjoy. :-)

Congrats Simon with the 2 point release.

Thank you for your hard work, when I found Pebble it was like finding the glove that fits your hand.

Default username/password doesn't work for my installation as well. Switching to multy blog did not help either.

Hi!

This looks very promising, but the default username/password
doesn't work for my installation. It installed fine, and I got the default
page with the empty blog, but logging in is impossible.

Funny, I switched multiBlog to true, and now I can login...
Well, thanks anyway. This looks very good!

Simon,

I always loved having a cool java based blogging tool that is easy to use, flexible and powerful. I now have got it in the form of pebble.

I was waiting for the 2.0 version to be released, now that it is available, I downloaded it and customized the theme and tried using it for my personal web page. But the hyperlinks it is creating is like 234324342.html while i want it to be descriptive like (the once in this this) blog my_title_text.html to make it google friendly.

How do i accomplish it? Can you plesae help me do this?

Thanks for writing such a nice java based blogging software.

SZ: You need to use this

net.sourceforge.pebble.permalink.TitlePermalinkProvider

as the Permalink Provider in the plugin configuration to have nice looking permalinks.

You can configure the plugins when you are logged into Pebble, look for the plugins link in the adminstration pane.

Thanks and an 'Endorsement' From a User

Thanks for all the great work. Pebble just keeps getting better. I love the unpublished entry feature. It makes it much easier to keep track of entries on which I am still working.

For anyone who wanders through here wondering about using Pebble, let me just say that you can't do better out there from what I have seen. Pebble is clean and simple to use. It does everything I want a blog app to do without offering me all sorts of whistles and bells I don't need.

Simon is responsive to users' needs. The user base is strong and highly motivated to offer productive feedback. The changes Simon makes as the app evolves almost always make things better for the user. By better, I mean that the app tends to get simpler for the Java-unitiated to use over time. By better, I also mean that each version seems to get more intuitive to use than the last. I can't recall any jarring dramatic changes in the user experience.

Thanks again.

I've just uploaded Pebble 2.0.1 to the SourceForge servers. It's a minor release, fixing a bug that stops the default user credentials from being created when you start Pebble for the first time.
