Flash components are
badly written; there are
many undocumented bugs
that you would never
overcome, e.g., try
adding a combobox to an
accordion pane, or a menu
inside of a scrollpane.
The most awful truth
about Flash components is

In answer to the question
'Where are the high-level
Open Source design tools
for Java?' I believe that
they're emerging from
efforts at Eclipse.org.
These efforts began with
the Eclipse Modeling
Framework (EMF) in 2002,
and have bee...
Java, in the form of the
Java 2 Platform Micro
Edition (J2ME), has
become a prerequisite for
all future mobile

A previous article
compared Jakarta Struts
and JavaServer Faces
implementations of five
simple design patterns
for list selection. (JDJ,

new form of analysis for
Java EE applications: a

Unlike the HTTP protocol
there's no stable default
JMS listener for invoking
the Web Services exposed
in Apache Axis 1.x using
JMS (Java Message

Service Data Objects
(SDOs) have become a
foundation technology for

The client/server
development model
prevalent in the
mid-1990's resulted in
extremely easy-to-build
rich GUI applications
that interacted directly
with a relational

PowerBuilder let eve...
Computers can generally
be characterized into two
types: ones that are
designed to have more
than one user attached
and those intended for a
single user. In the
beginning almost all
computing was done on

Building objects in the
Eclipse IDE is simple -
it's a point-and-click
solution. However, as
applications built on the
Eclipse platform mature
the need for building
outside of the IDE
increases. This need can
be driven by the

JavaOne has a catalyzing
effect on Java
developers: their
enthusiasm and energies

they ready their latest

technology-based projects
and solutions for the
annual encounter with

I want back in the
'90th...seriously. Ten
years ago I didn't know
Java: I'd been using
PowerBuilder and was able
to program pretty much
everything in this RAD
object-oriented tool. To
