Eugene Kuleshov has asked for examples of projects which make heavy use of generics. He has written about Using the ASM Toolkit for Bytecode Manipulation. He asks "We are doing some testing for ASM 2.0 API and need to capture as many variations of Java5 generics for our test cases. So, I was trying to find some kind of list of projects that are heavily using generics."

If you have or know of a good example of a project on java.net or elsewhere, please post a link in the feedback to this blog. Thank you.

In today's Weblogs , Joshua Marinacci has hope for Java developers in his post Apple's latest efforts are the triumph of software over hardware. His thesis is that Apple's hardware isn't so special - that it's the software that sets it apart.

Monika Krug has been active in the Mustang forums. She blogs on the discussion on A "protected-private" keyword? " One of the features requested in the Mustang forum was a modifier that would allow a member variable to be inherited as if it were protected, but not to be accessed by the other classes from the package. Here is how to achieve the same with AspectJ."

Daniel Brookshier announces the Project Graduation of ienjinia .

The Planning JavaOne 2005 forum launches in today's Forums. "What is it that makes you want to attend JavaOne? What would you like to see there this year? What topics interest you? What types of talks are the best?If you have an idea for a session you would like to present yourself, please submit your proposal by January 31 at the Call for Papers page on the JavaOne site. Otherwise, please let us know via the forum what types of talks others can put together that would make the conference that much better for you."

In Also in Java Today ,Pawel Kalczynsk has written a paper illustrating A Java Implementation of the Branch and Bound Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem with asymmetric cost matrix. "The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a graph theory problem of finding the shortest path a salesman can take through each of n cities visiting each city only once. This path is also referred to as the most efficient Hamiltonian circuit." To understand the asymmetric version Pawel suggests you "imagine a mailman who works in the mountains and must visit all his customers in the shortest time. Each element of the cost matrix cij represents the time it takes to get from home i to home j. Depending on whether he goes uphill or downhill, the traveling time between the two homes may be significantly different."

Nathan Tippy's Introduction to Apache JAMES shows you what the Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server version 2.2.0 can do "out of the box". "The spoolmanager represents the heart of the Email processing platform. It is defined in the config.xml file and provides a mechanism for defining business rules using Mailets, Matchers and processes. All new Email will be spooled up and processed by the next available spoolmanager thread. [..] Mailets are used to modify or act upon Email messages. A Mailet is very similar to a Servlet. It has familiar methods such as init, service and destroy which function in a similar manner. [..] Matchers are used to filter or select specific Email messages. A Matcher will be used to direct Emails to a specific Mailet. Matchers are passed the entire Email message but should never modify it."
