Apple and OpenJDK
Lest anyone doubt Apple's committment to working with Oracle on the OpenJDK project, Apple just emailed me back on a bug that I filed against the Mac implementation of Java... way back... in... 2003?!? Yup. Apple BugID #3179542 has finally been closed,... 		24-Feb-2011

JavaOne without Moscone Center?
After a very long and uncomfortable silence, Oracle, having passed the last(?) regulatory hurdle to their acquisition of Sun Microsystems, today announced that the JavaOne conference will in fact go ahead - this year. It will be co-located, but not m... 		27-Jan-2010

OpenMoko and Android
A few people have asked me at various times for a comparison of the OpenMoko and Android cell phone projects. Given that I advocate for the former, and also for Java which is (and is not) the base language of the latter, I am expected to be able to ... 		21-Apr-2009

Microsoft Bites Me Again
I just created a Java application that is needed on several platforms, one of which, alas, is the ubituitous and ill-designed Microsoft Windows XP. In the project there are some classes that are auxilliary to the main program. Naturally enough I create... 		17-Mar-2009

Using Java enums properly in Seam
The Seam documentation covers this now, but it's a bit short of complete examples. Most of this probably applies to other JSF/JPA deployments too (but please don't ask me how). To make the list of a given enum's values available to the view, just add o... 		27-Jan-2009

A Pox Upon all of your getMessage() calls
If you're not a Java programmer, you might as well run along to the next blog entry below. If you are, how often have you seen - or tolerated - code like this in a library you're using? try { clazz= Class.forName(classN... 		19-Jan-2009

JavaFX: Late to the gate, but sweet
JavaFX is Sun's new Rich Client strategy for Java. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the demos on the JavaFX home page. Unlike Adobe Flash and unlike M$ Silverlight, this technology actually works on "minority" OSes - my OpenBSD laptop wi... 		27-Dec-2008

Django Reverse-Engineer from Existing Legacy Tables
I've been playing a bit with Django, a Python-based web framework. One thing that people starting in Django seem to miss out on is the standard "how to I make model classes from my existing database tables"? That's not because you can't do th... 		4-Oct-2008

"The Web Beans Manifesto" is good.
Gavin King is often thought of as the developer of Hibernate, but he deserves as much credit for making Seam, the web framework that unifies JSF and EJB3. Now he's going for the standards hat, making Seam into "Web Beans", a Java Community Pr... 		26-Nov-2007

Mac OS X Users want Java 6
This would seem surreal to a mainframe programmer of 20 years ago. Bloggers are putting the string 13949712720901ForOSX into their Blogs so that a Google Blog Search/Count can be used to show that a lot of people want Apple to release Java 6 for Mac OS... 		7-Nov-2007

The Open Source Cell Phone
I've wrtten here before about Asterisk, the open source PBX telephone system that runs on generic PCs (among other platforms). Now there's an open source cell phone! OpenMoko is the software project (see their wiki page first; the home page is kind of ... 		30-May-2007

JavaOne Summary
This has been a very busy week at JavaOne, with lots of new announcments but few major ones. One of the largest announcements was a small but powerful technology called JavaFX, which is potentially very significant because it provides a compositional A... 		11-May-2007

OpenJDK steps closer to full GPL open source
At this week's JavaOne, Sun announced that they have uploaded more pieces of the JDK to the open source repository. At the same time, they announced that there are some big missing pieces that will not be available under GPL until somebody replaces the... 		10-May-2007

New Java Cookbook Recipes
Since I hope someday to release a third edition of the Java Cookbook, I've been thinking about what recipes need to be replaced, added, removed. I've set up a directory with some new/replacement recipes. Some are complete but some are just placeholders... 		2-May-2007

Microsoft: Giant to Relic in under a decade?
My pal Lak recently resumed blogging and pointed to this piece on the 1999 verdict in U.S.A. v Microsoft. Back then Microsoft was the behemoth that crushed Netscape and nearly crushed Java, in the process diverting Java from the Applet to the Enterpris... 		18-Apr-2007
