Many things changed from java 1 in 1995 at java 7 2012. Learn about this reading this article.
A couple of weeks ago, I sent out a little quiz to my readers of The Java Specialists' Newsletter. No one managed to figure out what the code does without running it. Some managed to explain the result once they had run it. Perfect quiz for weeding out those job applicants you don't like. Especially if you are working in the banking industry. OK, enough hints, let's look at the quiz :-)
A new tutorial exercises VisualLangLab using all the examples and techniques in Chapter-3 "A Quick Tour for the Impatient" of the book "The Definitive ANTLR Reference". A new "WildCard" pseudo-token that matches any other defined token has been added to facilitate recovery from grammar errors in the input. Read about the various other improvements that make VisualLangLab even more user-friendly.
I wasn't pleased (though I also wasn't surprised) to see that quite a lot of people think the reason Java desktop development receives so little publicity today is because sites like Java.net ignore the desktop. Well, maybe other sites do that, but I'm pretty sure that I pay close attention to desktop development...
In my last blog I’ve introduced JavaFX 2.0 beta, describing an initial port of JavaFX Balls, also in beta stage at that time. Now I finally finish JavaFX Balls 3.
Look ma, no design!
I don’t pretend to be a designer, and the consequence is that when I make a mashup of animation, video and web, that’s the result. Get the source code here.
I’ve added new layers of content...
Was added to his package to facilitate applications which needs scalable processes.
A feature is atomic variable. Variable atomic means that it cannot be divided - it's like the S.O. with any resource (Driver CD, USB) cannot be divided but needs be used in many processes.

The java.util.concurrent library added a little gem of a class, TimeUnit, which is well worth knowing a bit about.

On the new JavaFX 2.0.2 beta release for Mac OS.
How JavaFX 2.0 takes the best ideas from Swing, Flash, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and brings it all together in one powerful technology.
Swing makes it very easy to control and modify simple components like JLabel or JButton. It gets trickier when you customize a compound component like JTree or JTable. Unlike a simple component, JTable consists of multiple subcomponents like table header, renderer and editor, so actually JTable is not a single component but a container with several descendants.
Imagine that you want to customize...

Welcome java 7 - Part 1
Beyond being merely a computer programming language, Java is the most widely used software platform in the entire world. There is a large number of various software solutions that were developed using this technology. Without many people being aware, Java is present in our daily lives in embedded technologies like blue-ray discs and a countless number of sites on the internet that were...
This short post contains useful hints about finding the correct size for your JavaFX windows.
JavaFX 2.0 is not multiplatform! It can't do subpixel antialiasing!! … these were among the reactions to the first beta releases, that I'm not sure to understand as trolling or simple laziness. These mysteries are usually solved with a simple look at JavaFX's public JIRA issue tracking system. The current implementation is still a beta, not even a feature-complete beta, so there are many...
