Our new effort to improve
and change the Java
Community Process through
JSR 306 is still young;
however, developers and
all those interested have
already started to
provide valuable feedback

Do you know what's the
main goal of any gas
station owner? To get
lots of trucking
accounts. Business from
small car drivers is
worth pennies, and it
gets on my nerves to hear

Expert Group held its
first meeting to gather

Functional testing, or
integration testing, is
concerned with the entire
system, not just small
pieces (or units) of

features that have been

combining them into

Ted Nelson, inventor of,
among other things,
hypertext, once lamented
that software development
today is at the same

film production was ...
In terms of unit testing
and code compliance,
Jtest is a real
heavyweight in the arena.
For those who haven't
come across Jtest before,
