Planning for Mustang

Tiger was released a week ago. To keep us from dwelling on the past, Denis Mikhalkin has agreed to moderate a new forum to discuss the features that you most want to see in the next J2SE release, code named Mustang. Of course, I'm kidding about "dwelling in the past" but we are so glad to have Denis write the following in today's Forums. "We are in the stage of planning for the next release, 1.6.0, code-named "Mustang". We have thousands of features to choose from, but only a small amount of them will be implemented. Only the most important features, the most asked by the developers will be chosen and implemented. Do you think we underestimate the importance of some features? Do you have some bright idea for a feature? This is the place for you to speak up."

On the copyright thread, JWenting writes "actually, copyright is implicit not explicit. [..] The moment you commit something to any medium it's copyrighted to you (or to whomever you signed over copyright contractually like an employer) unless you explicitly denounce your rights."

There's game code to play with from Chet Haase and Dmitri Trembovetski in today's Weblogs. In Java Game Developement, Chet links to a JDJ article that the pair has written as well as to the java.net project containing the source code.

JBob weighs in with his view on Java on the Mac with his post Where's Apple. He comments on Chris Adamson's earlier blog and Chris responds in the talkback section.

In Also in Java Today , a recent Enterprise Tech tip tells you how to use JAX-RPC to expose a Java Object as a Web Service. To understand the Java standard implementation of SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1 you must also understand WSDL files which" describe, in XML semantics, the interfaces and implementation objects that are used to generate component stubs inside the container. WSDL files also define the ports to the outside world and transport protocols through which web services communicate."

TheServerSide has published the first in a four part series on JDO 2.0: JDOQL. Robin Roos begins the series with an introduction to "New operator and method support, paging of query results, and datastore-delegated 'deletion by query'. "
