This past month the JCP
Executive Committees met
in Nice, France, in
concert with the
TeleManagement World
conference, where the
worldwide
telecommunications
industry gathered to
address technical,
operating, and business
issues...
If we consider JavaOne as
the event when Java was
born, then June 27-30,
2005, will mark its tenth
birthweek. A lot has
happened since the
language that was
trademarked with dancing
dukes made its appearance
into the world of
comp...
The elegance of Java
stems from how the
language addresses a
number of highly complex
software engineering
issues in a seemingly
consistent and
easy-to-use paradigm.
While there are a few
potholes that you need to
be mindful of, m...
The vast majority of
corporate developers
truly believe that
application security is
not their concern,
assuming that network and
engineering groups will
build their environment
in a secure way. But what
about application
security...
Since Eclipse's first
release in 2001, it has
become a popular
environment for Java
development. In the
period between March 10
and May 11, 2005, users
downloaded over 17,000
copies of one of the
production SDK releases
and over 3...
This year will be the
first time in 10 JavaOnes
that I haven't been a Sun
employee. As I am now
fairly local to the show
I should be able to
attend again this year.
I've met many developers
from around the world who
make the annual ...
I'm really jazzed about
Java 5.0! We've been
treated over the years to
incremental improvements
in JVM performance. JDK
1.2 brought us the
collections framework as
well as Swing, the thread
context class loader, and
improvements in ...
I witnessed a recent BOF
conversation in which the
general feeling was that
the browser GUI and its
accompanying plethora of
back-end frameworks had
let people down by
delivering a poor return
on investment and a weak
user-interface
experience.
Property files are
frequently used in
systems built using Java
whether it's a thick Java
client, a servlet, or a
business component. Java
specifies the format for
a property file and
provides the Properties
class to read from and

The Star Trek universe
has inspired many
technology ideas but I'm
disappointed I don't have
a transporter yet. One
Star Trek technology that
has been available for
sometime is the particle
system. No, this is not
an exotic propulsio...
The hardest single part
of building a software
system is deciding
precisely what to build.
No other part of the
conceptual work is so
difficult as establishing
the detailed technical
requirements?Therefore
the most important
funct...
Java Technology completed
its 10-year anniversary
recently. Sun announced
that there are over 4
million developers using
the Java language, with
thousands more joining
their ranks. While a
small percentage of
developers can be calle...
Technology birthdays come
and go, but Internet
technologies, by their
very nature, aren't old
enough to allow yet for
centenaries, or even
diamond anniversaries. So
it is fascinating to see
how people are reacting
to the fact that p...
