Help Wanted: Intern to Spread the Word

The Swing team has a job opening for a half-to-full-time student intern to help us get the word out about using JavaSE for rich client apps. Your primary job would be to help us publish a bunch of Swing Sightings. Other work, as time permits, could be working on the Swing Depot, helping us manage and improve javadesktop.org, and — if you're familiar with Swing and other rich client APIs in the JDK— maybe writing/editing technical articles, blogging, or writing demos. There's lots to do, and it should be fun!

The skills we're looking for:

• Strong graphic design skills.
• Strong written English language skills.
• Strong HTML skills, via either hand HTML coding or an automated tool such as DreamWeaver.
• Strong knowledge of graphics editing software (for example, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, ImageReady) for creating and generating images for web production.

Some other requirements:

• You must currently be enrolled in school full time.
• You'll need to work onsite in Santa Clara.
• Because the position doesn't offer relocation/housing expenses, you should either already be in the bay area or have a place to stay here.

If you're interested in this job, please send e-mail to jeff at sun dot com. Good luck!

Take the Swing Text Survey (Please!)

One of the most wanted Swing bug fixes is for 4296022 [html4.x support within a JEditorPane]. We are planning to resolve this problem in the Dolphin (J2SE 7.0) release.

To make sure all the important features are implemented we need your help. We've created a survey to help us to understand your needs better:

(It might take about fifteen minutes to finish it.)

Thank you for your time.
