Configuring Eclipse TPTP (a.k.a PQP) profiler on Linux: After struggling for weeks and almost giving up, I finally managed to have the Eclipse TPTP profiler working on my Ubuntu 64bits box!
As this was a painful and unbelievably hard experience (because of Eclipse TPTP, not Ubuntu/Linux, BTW), I'm going to share a few tips here.

Hello, McFly?: I have this blog for a long time - in fact, I think I was one of the first 100 or so webloggers, as I joined it shortly after JavaOne 2003. Still, I haven't blogged that much (just 22 entries in 41 months), specially last year (only 4 semi-crappy posts). Hopefully, the situation is going to change, as I will explain in this 'meta-blog'...

Who let the bugs out?: I'm facing an interesting situation using some sort of advanced (read: complex and ugly :-) generic mapping, where my code compiles on Eclipse but fails on Sun's javac. As I haven't blogged for a while, I decided to write about it.
Curious? Take a look in the code below...

Setting a lightweight JBoss server for web development only: Have you ever been in the situation where you needed to use JBoss only as a web server, but had to bear the overhead of starting all those MBeans because you didn't know how to turn them off?

When LinkedIn met JSTL: JSTL's SQL and XML are controversial taglibs. A lot of people complain they hurt the MVC principles, while others defend they can be useful in some situations (specially on protoypes and small projects). The truth is, both sides are right: it can causes great havoc in a MVC-based application, but it is an invaluable tool in small, time-limited projects like the one shown in this blog.

It's time to move on: There's been a lot of talk lately about how Tiger (J2SE 1.5) is going to make Java easier to develop with, bringing it to the masses (or as Sun call it, to the "corporate developers"). I have no doubt that this promise *will* be fullfilled. My question is: *when* will that happen?

Running ant in loop mode: Once in a while I work in a Java project where I need to run a simple Ant task many times in a short period of time. Like web projects where the JSP files are located in a directory under source control and are deployed in another directory by an Ant task. If I change a JSP file, I need to run Ant again, and it takes an eternity (about 5-6 seconds), due to the overhead of running the JVM, reading the XML files, etc...
