Moving to beta 0.2

Posted by daniel on July 07, 2003 at 06:15 AM | Comments (7)

It's still early days for java.net We went live a little under a month ago and still have a long way to go. We're still tagging this release as beta 0.1. We're working on content and infrastructure and would appreciate your feedback. The O'Reilly team will be meeting in Portland this week at OSCon , if you have feedback on how we can improve this site either drop me an email today or tomorrow at daniel@oreilly.com or use the talkback below.

The list of items were working on includes: expanding the list of bloggers, beefing up the number of articles we feature each week, and featuring more of the projects and communities in java.net. Infrastructure items include enhancing the blogging mechanism, revisiting the design of the site, and perhaps providing direct links to content from this daily blog. What's important to you?

In today's featured Weblogs Malcolm Davis wonders if our software could benefit from having an Inspector General. In the military the Inspector General is an independent external auditor. The real benefit is that those in command know that they will have to answer to this auditor and so they are very familiar with the projects they supervise. Davis points out how this might work in a development environment. Simon Phipps continues our weblogger tradition of covering interesting conferences. While many of the O'Reilly folks head to the Pacific northwest for OSCon, Simon is heading to Washington, DC for Supernova 2003. Phipps' weblog entry is a nice pre-conference summary and collection of links that begins with "whether always-on-ness is helpful or harmful".

In Also Today, we're running Rob Smith's piece "Generics in Java". Before the 1998 JavaOne conference I participated in a JavaWorld magazine interview with James Gosling. He spoke then about the push to get "type polymorphism" into the language. With next year's J2SE 1.5 release, Generics will finally be part of the Java programming language. Smith gives examples of how using generics will simplify your code. One of the first articles we published was Jonathan Simon's piece on using Python to replace some of the scripting being done in XML. In "A Python JAR File auditor" we point to Doug Tilman's article on recasting a Java utility using Python.

Steve Mallett, the Java Today news editor has gathered the following Java Today News Headlines: "GNOME-Java bindings 0.8", "jPOS 1.4.6 has been released", "U.S. Unsatisfied with MS Licenses", and "Torvalds talks about SCO Suit, Microsoft and his Exit from Transmeta".

Once this page is no longer featured as the front page of Java Today it will be archived at http://today.java.net/today/archive/index_07072003.html. You can access other past issues by changing the address appropriately.

  • Suggestions
    -Improve the forums: javadesktop.org and javagaming.org are running their own separate forum software... I know that the gaming guys did it because the community couldn't stand the java.net forums.

    -Don't force people to join projects before they can participate in forums. The ability to 'lurk' before participating is important.

  • Corrections
    I need to correct the previous comments..

    javagaming. has their own forum running becasue we couldnot wait for the integration via java.net forums(as tha was take longer than a day or two)..not any way or shape a criticism of the forums at java.net running through java.net

    I think people are already aware of thsose iu issues that are preventing more free flow of links..

    for example links to different posts and articles in the today's java recap done by the editor..

    I do like the improvemnts in that you don;t have to hit back after loging in to add apost , comment or etc..

    Keep up the good progress

  • Home page width
    I've got a design correction that also happens to be one of my pet peeves.

    The home page suffers due to beign too width. That makes an horizontal scrollbar appear at the bottom of my browser window or, if I set my browser wider, it makes paragraphs less readable.

    A typical width of about 60-70 characters is what is usually recommended in order to make text as easy to read as possible. That would be a better choice.

    The problem of the home page is the image at the top. Java Today doesn't have the person photo and can be resized to a more readable width, for example.

  • font size
    for my taset, font size is too small to be read comfortably on many pages. AND the browser tool for increasing font size does not work, since it is apparently hard-coded in the HTML

  • process for projects
    The process for starting a new project is not clear to me.
