After learning that JADE does not support Mobile Agent concept but supports only traditional Agent Framework, I was wondering which Framework or technology still uses Mobile Agent Concepts and I can build an application using it. IBM's Aglets could have been, but it is no longer maintained and revised (I think, since I didn't see very active participation in Aglet related forums)
JADE supports agent mobility - http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~vaucher/Agents/Jade/Mobility.html
Take a look at Mobility-RPC, it supports code mobility in general, including mobile agents.

I would like to develop an AngularJS app with Breeze. I usually use NodeJS with Express but I hear it wont work with Breeze. All the example on breezejs.com use ASP.Net but i am on a mac and you can't run visual studio... What are my options ?
We are releasing a sample later today (in breeze v1.3.0) that shows Breeze talking to an arbitrary web service that could have been written on any platform using any technology.
Obviously, we need more of these examples and as importantly we need to show server side implementations of how one might write these web servivces to best leverage Breeze. But... this is all definitely on our roadmap, and we are actively looking for partners in this process.
We are planning to develop an application that can work with any ECM systems. SO we planned to use CMIS.
As our application is in Java, I came across openCMIS. It seemed all useful.
But now I need to know, which all repositories are tested/supported with openCMIS?
OpenCmis will be really helpful for many ecm systems but it is not a one common answer for all of them.
For example, for IBM CM or Filenet there is IBM CMIS which comes bundled with Content Navigator. Please note this is also lacking some basic functionalities and i developed that just recently. (on the latest version)
I would recommend to build the java application using the most relevant CMIS apis you need and for the closest specific ECM product.If you want to build it in a way which works on all ECM platforms then the coding needs to be in different way.
like - identify which ecm system is being called by your java program
and then load the classes or functions for that specific system.
Hope the above helps :)
This page lists CMIS servers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_Interoperability_Services
OpenCMIS is one the mostly used CMIS libraries, and I would say it is the most-tested CMIS library you can find.
I have not seen any "official supported list", but OpenCMIS at least works for Alfresco, IBM FileNet, NemakiWare, and most CMIS servers I have tried. A notable exception seems to be IBM Connections, because of a IBM Connections bug.
Is it possible to develop a Web Part without usage of .NET technologies? I'm looking for possibilities of integration of legacy (for example java) applications into SharePoint.
Any valid way for .Net CLR to call your code will do what you want. However with that said, it is likely to be very low level, very obscure and very difficult to do.
A more straightforward approach to reusing your Java or whatever code was if there was some sort of public cross language interface for you to exploit in your .Net skeleton. The obvious answer is a REST or SOAP wrapper around the Java code but it doesn't have to be that. It could be CORBA or JMS or all sorts of things.
Even if you want to integrate Java apps, the web Part will be coded in .NET.
There are a few ways to accomplish this, all of which involve a .NET web part exposing external data. All of your common integration methods apply including exposing the legacy application through web services or even directly accessing the database - you could use whatever your organization is accustomed to with other integrations.
Another possible option, depending on your SharePoint version is the Business Data Catalog (2007) or Business Connectivity Services (2010). These options, while can be a little bit of a pain to set up (though third party tools are available) do allow for some automatic integration of other applications into SharePoint.
I am pondering on building a CRM for consulting business and am looking for best technology to build on. It will be web based with maybe a plugin that integrates with Outlook. What I don't want is to spend a lot of time doing HTML-fu and CSS-fu just to get basic grids, data entries and so on up. I don't mind picking up a new language. Preference goes to FLOSS projects. If it works with Python + 50 points :)
Projects on my mind:
Google's GWT - great ecosystem. Pity that it is in old-fashioned Java, but there's Pyjamas too!
Django - has all the nice widgets for web, but requires maintaining essentially a dual code base - backend language and front-end. Does not work with JS challenged browsers :(
Any suggestions how to quickly build and maintain web based business app are welcome.
My vote is with Adobe Flex. Some high-level advantages of flex:
Browser compatibility: any browser with a flash player will run the site (currently over 90% I believe). No need to fudge with html/css.
Data binding: the flex framework's strongest suit is dynamic scalable data binding.
Server-side technology: Flex can couple with any server-side technology for back-end operations (Java, PHP, RESTful web services, and Coldfusion to name a few)
Open source: flex is open source (however, buying the eclipse-based Flash Builder is usually a good idea)
Customization: every flex component is completely customizable and skinnable. Nice for business apps that do not want to simply look the same as everyone else.
Desktop: Using Adobe AIR Desktop Environment users can interact with the OS.
We are having a .net application which we plan to move to the cloud. I hear a lot of people say if its .net app go for azure.
Are there any other alternatives for it in terms of ease of porting and pricing
Thanks

You might want to check out AppHarbor. AppHarbor is a .Net PaaS built on top of Amazon. On the one hand you get the portability and infrastructure of Amazon but on the other they provide a number of the rich services that Azure offers such as background tasks & load balancing plus some that it doesn't like 3rd party add-ons, dead-simple deployment and more.
Amazon is a possible option - http://aws.amazon.com/net/
You don't need to port code to .Net to run in Azure. Pretty much every runtime/language that works on Windows Server 2008 works on Azure. I've put a lot of native (C/C++) code up for various projects.
There are a lot of docs on how to run Java, PHP, etc. as well.
