Many of the problems
related to software
development are at the
individual level, with
those who create bad code
rather than with any
specific technology
issue. Therefore the goal
of anyone staffing a

We tend to see the United
States through a lens
made up of its major
population centers: New
York; Los Angeles;
Washington, DC; Miami;
Atlanta; Chicago; and a
few others. That's
because these are the

I want a wireless
handheld device that
works with me and doesn't
make me jump through
hoops just because I want
to use Java. I don't even
want to know Java is
running; I just want it
to do its job and make my

Having ridden the storm
of the dot-com decline,
it's nice to see the
worldwide press having a

the tech economy. Java,
as a language, rode the
crest of the wave; it

Have you heard? Generics
will be in the next
release of the Java SDK
(code named Tiger, aka

wondering 'What is a
generic?' or 'Why should
I care?' or even 'Cool!
How do I use them?'
The Java Sound API, first
introduced in J2SE 1.3,
includes the package
javax.sound.midi, which
contains everything you
need to be able to send
and receive messages to
and from any MIDI device
visible to your operating
system.
The promise of J2EE was
to build more robust,
scalable, and secure
enterprise systems. J2EE
promised that we could do
it quickly and easily
since J2EE is supposed to
take the complexity out
of building powerful
distributed systems.
What do you get if you
cross an early 21st
century visionary CTO
with a late 19th century
employee of the Edison

Welcome to the November
edition of the JCP
column! Each month you
can read about the Java

Samuel Johnson said,
'When a man knows he is
to be hanged in a
fortnight, it
concentrates his mind
wonderfully.' While Sun's
current situation may not
be dire enough to be
considered analogous to
facing the hangman's
rope, it is c...
Debugging, profiling,
packaging - whatever you
want, WSDD can do it all.
IBM's WebSphere Device
Developer (WSDD) is a

The JRockit engineers
made two assumptions when
they first designed
JRockit. First, server
VMs run for a long time
