JavaOne Jackpot Talk Available

Posted by tball on November 01, 2005 at 07:16 PM | Comments (4)

For those of you unable to attend my talk on Jackpot at JavaOne last June, the presentation is now available either as a multimedia web show (audio and synchronized slides) or as a PDF file. You need to be a Sun Developers Network member, but registration is free and only takes a minute or so. Once you are registered, here is the talk. BTW, all of the presentations are available, not just mine!

  • What is the current schedule for releasing Jackpot? I recall from an earlier blog of yours that this required syncing with changes to javac and the AST you depend on? It sounds great, though.

    Thanks, Patrick

  • Only our marketing folks know, but I cannot get an answer from them (if you don't work for a large company, count your blessings). I am currently pulling in all favors I can to resolve this temporary impass. And no, sending email to them won't help. ;-)
    The good news is that internal users have submitted lots of good enhancement issues and bug reports (mostly on how to better integrate Jackpot into the IDE), so when (not if) it comes out it will be much easier to use. I am very sorry for the delay.

  • Hi!

    I took a look at Jackpot and it seem very similar to a research project I've been doing lately at INRIA. See http://spoon.gforge.inria.fr/.

    It seems that the main difference is that we sticked to pure Java for specifying our transformations. It surely brings some limitations but it's also easier to integrate in IDEs...

    If you think it's worth it, I'd be happy to exange views on our tools.

    Cheers,
    /Renaud
