我也想将著名的Java开放源代码软件的作者们一一介绍给大家。然而鉴于自己的有限的见识，希望大家能够共同来写这个系列文章，谢谢。

Hibernate的作者Gavin King



Gavin King是Hibernate的作者，EJB3.0专家委员会成员，JBoss核心成员之一。Hibernate诞生在2001年11月，在短短的两年多时间就发展成为Java世界主流的持久层框架软件，令人侧目。Gavin King 1974年出生于澳大利亚，现在居住在澳大利亚默尔本市。

BTW: Gavin King是一个现年30岁的大帅哥阿！

Gavin King is the founder of the Hibernate project. He was born in a country town named Mudgee in 1974 and has never been there since. He is currently based in Melbourne, Australia - the city with the world's highest ratio of restaurants to people. Gavin's interest in persistence was sparked at the age of 11 when his early software development efforts were all destroyed due to the notorious unreliability of the Commodore 64 cassette drive. Gavin studied mathematics at Monash University before deciding to do something useful instead. He now works for JBoss, Inc., developing Hibernate and the new Hibernate-based CMP engine - and hopes he has finally proved his usefulness. He is co-author of the book, Hibernate in Action, to be published by Manning. He is also involved in the EJB3 expert group. Gavin always enjoys writing about himself in the third person.

SpringFramework的作者Rod Johnson



Rod Johnson在2002年出版了一本非常畅销的J2EE书籍《Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development》，阐述了J2EE开发的方方面面的经验和设计，同时他根据本书的思路，开发了SpringFramework。如今SpringFramework是最流行的轻量级Java IoC容器。Rod本人也是Servlet2.4和JDO2.0专家委员会成员，他同时也是一位经验丰富的技术咨询专家。Rod开了一家咨询公司，提供SpringFramework的技术支持和培训

Tapestry和Hivemind的作者Howard Lewis Ship



Tapestry是类似WebForms机制的Java Web Framework，Hivemind是一个微内核的IoC容器，Tapestry和Hivemind都是Apache Foundation Software旗下的软件。

JBoss AOP的作者Bill Burke



Bill Burke是JBoss公司首席架构师，JBoss AOP项目的领导者，JBoss EJB3.0的领导者之一(另一个是是Gavin King，GK负责Entity Bean，其他部分是Bill Burke负责)，EJB 3.0 专家组成员。

Bill Burke现年33岁。

Born in 1971, Bill fell in love with middleware when he was introduced to DCE while at the parent company of Open Environment Corporation. He later went on to being a core member of the Orbix2000 team at Iona, where he helped them build some of their CORBA products. After weathering a few failed internet startups building J2EE applications, Bill stumbled into JBoss and helped them with their clustering architecture and EJB container. Now, as lead architect of JBoss 4, his main focus is on bringing AOP concepts and technology to the JBoss application server. Bill is co-author of O'Reilly's "JBoss 3.2 Workbook", and has numerous other in-print and on-line publications. He graduated magna cum laude with a B.S.C.S. from Northeastern University in Boston in 1994. In his spare time, now that JBoss is the full-time job, Bill likes to hang with his wonderful wife and is a rabid football fan being a New England Patriots season ticket holder for the past 10 years.

Brett McLaughlin是Java、XML、企业应用和开放源代码软件领域的资深权威。他是Lutris Technologies公司的Enhydra决策人员，负责Enhydra应用服务器的开发方向和决策制订。另外，他还是许多其他开放源代码项目的奠基人或合作奠基人，如JDOM（目前在Sun的JSR中）、ApacheTurbine（基于Servlet的Web应用框架）以及Enhydra Zeus（XML数据绑定框架）。另外他也是OpenEJB、jBoss以及Apache Concoon方面一言九鼎的人物，可算是Java和XML“革命”的中流砥柱。
除了在技术上的贡献外，Brett还是一个多产的作家；他是《Java & XML》的作者，还是IBM Java与XML工具和技术新闻组的负责人，以及flashline.com半月刊的主要专栏作家，另外他还为IBM Developer Works、Java World和oreilly.com撰写了数十篇文章。

主要著作：
《Java & XML》
《Java & XML Data Binding》
《Building Java Enterprise Applications, Vol. 1: Architecture 》
《Building Java Enterprise Applications Vol. II: Web Applications》
《Java 1.5 Tiger : A Developer's Notebook》（与别人合著）

哦哦，别忘了Rickard和Hani。

SpringFramework共同作者之一Juergen Hoeler



Juergen Hoeler是SpringFramework的共同作者之一，与Rod Johnson共同发起和创造了SpringFramework。SpringFramework中的Hibernate相关的API是由Juergen Hoeler完成的。对于喜欢使用Spring/Hibernate架构的程序员来说一定对这部分非常熟悉。
