The path to the archive was generated automatically based on the "java.home" system property. The original idea was to use the URLClassLoader, but it could not find classes. I had to write a custom class loader which read an archive and loaded classes on demand. At that instant I realized why the URLClassLoader did not work: I had incorrectly generated the path to the archive and the URLClassLoader for a wonder provided no warning that the archive was not found.]]> J2SE malenkov 2008-07-25T06:08:52-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/malenkov/archive/2007/12/it_is_time_to_c_1.html I would like to discuss some proposed changes in the JColorChooser component.

The builder tool could use such metadata to provide enhanced functionality.]]> J2SE malenkov 2007-10-04T07:29:03-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/malenkov/archive/2007/03/how_to_use_the_1.html The @ConstructorProperties annotation for constructors was introduced in JDK version 6. This annotation shows how the parameters of annotated constructor correspond to object's properties.

As you may know, Type-Safe Enums were proposed by Joshua Bloch in Effective Java, but they are not supported by XMLEncoder. This article describes how to encode them into XML properly.
