That's Something I DoPosted by editor on August 7, 2008 at 6:28 AM PDT
Codifying Swing's best practices Last month, we noted an item in Kirill Grouchnikov's Swing Links of the Week indicating that Alex Potochkin had taken over the seemingly dormant Swing Application Framework project, following Hans Muller's departure from Sun earlier in the year. Alex has opened up the channels of communication again, in his post Swing Application Framework update.
This is a significant project, as Swing applications don't currently have a programmatic lifecycle and instead launch from Here's hoping that the project takes off with its new leadership. Also in the Weblogs, Eamonn McManus reports that he's been Playing with the JMX 2.0 API. "Version 2.0 of the JMX API is being defined by JSR 255. I've written about some of the features in the new API before. They are trickling into the JDK 7 sources over time, so you can now play with some shiny new things. Here's a description of what they are, and how you can even access them from JDK 6 if you are brave..." Ed Burns says Got a gripe with Servlet? Let's hear it! "Taking a cue from the success of the community that has grown up around the JSF IRC channel, my colleague and friend Rajiv Mordani has created an IRC channel for the entire Glassfish WebTier, on freenode. To access the channel, follow the instructions for the JSF irc channel but use #glassfish-webtier as the channel name, instead of ##jsf." In Java Today, the SDN has updated its beginner's guide to JavaFX Script, Learning Curve Journal, Part 1: Exploring JavaFX Script. "In August and September 2007, John O'Conner of the Sun Developer Network wrote a series titled "Learning Curve Journal" designed to help users get started with the JavaFX Script programming language (shortened to JavaFX Script in the remainder of this article). A number of significant advances have been made to the language since then. Perhaps most important is the availability of a compiler-based version of JavaFX Script, which replaces the earlier interpreter-based version of the language. The Learning Curve Journal described the use of the interpreter-based version of the language. The Learning Curve Journal has been updated to show you how to use the compiler-based version of the language. Other changes have been made to make the articles current." The latest edition, issue 177, of the JavaTools Community Newsletter is out, with tool-related news from around the web, new projects and a graduation (EchoPoint), and a Tool Tip on playing the game of not breaking the build. Need to monitor the performance of code you don't have source for? Without the source, you don't have obvious means of instrumenting the code for performance monitoring. In a new article, Postcompilation instrumentation and performance monitoring, Nicholas Whitehead presents techniques for instrumenting Java classes and constructs without modifying the original source code.
In today's Forums, Marco Sambin wants JAI Image I/O to provide all-Java implementations, in the thread RE: [JAI-IMAGEIO] Mac OS X native version of JIIO. "As I mentioned in previous posts, a full pure-Java implementation of ALL JIIO codecs (including lossless JPEG) would be an acceptable alternative to a Mac OS X native version of JIIO, at least for our purposes. Things may be different for other developers, but I think "available functionality" comes before "high performance". Of course, having the two would be optimal..." Finally, Current and upcoming Java Events :
Registered users can submit event listings for the java.net Events Page using our events submission form. All submissions go through an editorial review before being posted to the site. Archives and Subscriptions: This blog is delivered weekdays as the Java Today RSS feed. Also, once this page is no longer featured as the front page of java.net it will be archived along with other past issues in the java.net Archive. Codifying Swing's best practices »
