JAI and JAI Image I/O Tools Source Code

In today's Weblogs Roger Brinkley leads off with Java Advanced Imaging and Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O Tools Source Code Now Available!. Congratulations to the folks who keep throwing imaging APIs over the wall.

Pat Niemeyer blogs on an important development with The new javax.script API. He writes "There are really two APIs buried in this specification and one of them is actually quite interesting. Java is about to get a standardized API for working with scripting languages and it's not just about web applications any more."

More news from the JCP. Marc Hadley writes about the JAX-RPC 2.0 Early Draft 2. " The JSR 224 Expert Group just published a second early draft of JAX-RPC 2.0. This blog entry outlines some of the new features in the specification and describes where we're headed next. "

Finally, in today's featured blogs, John Mitchell asks " What do you look at when you're hiring developers?" He hopes that your answer includes something about those who are Passionately Curious.

In Also in Java Today , Laurence Moroney has written an article for DevX on Rapid Template-Driven Development with Jakarta Velocity. He writes that Velocity makes " it so you can have 'active' Web pages, but where the design and the implementation details are kept neatly separate through the use of templates. Using Velocity, a designer can design a page and put inactive placeholders on the page that the developer will use to activate the page. You'll see this by example a little later. It should be noted that this isn't the only use for Velocity it is in fact a generic template engine that can be used for outputting any kind of text, but Web pages are obviously a very useful example. "

Paul Mutton, author of "IRC Hacks" acknowledges that participating in an IRC discussion can be distracting while you're trying to work. A nice alternative would be to have the chat read aloud to you while you're working. And conveniently, there's an open source Java library that can provide the text-to-speech functionality. In IRC Text to Speech with Java, he shows how to put the two together.

In Projects and Communities, of interest to the Linux Community is Linux Today's reprint of the Linux Magazine article P2P with Java, which points out handy peer-to-peer programs written in Java, such as Azureus and LimeWire.

The JavaDesktop community's Roger Brinkley has blogged that Java Advanced Imaging and Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O source code is now available on java.net.

Should super() be first? In today's Forums Netsql writes "In other OO langs... in constuctor... the super() does not have to be the 1st command. There is all kinds of workarrounds we do in Java to get arround that."

Bino George writes about Debugging JNI exception failures. "If you want to print out the message you can use the ExceptionDescribe method. Checkout [this link] for more information on debugging JNI exceptions."

Kohsuke follows up on JAXB 2.0 with JDK 1.4. "The API jar is heavily using Tiger features. Those classes won't even load in JDK 1.4. I agree that in theory, the RI might be able to use xdoclet-like annotation compiler to store annotations externally, and then read it back at the runtime, but I think this API class file version issue is critical."
