Welcome to the May
edition of the JCP
column! Each month you
can read about the Java
Community Process: newly
submitted JSRs, new draft
specs, Java APIs that
were finalized, and other
news from the JCP. Before
we start, let me quick...
Who is right about Java?
Is it software executive
Tod Nielsen, whose advice
- in reference to J2EE -
is 'simplify and
accelerate'? Is it Eric
S. Raymond, who says, as
often and as loudly as
possible, 'Let Java go' -
i.e., open sourc...
Two conversations over
the past few days started
a train of thought about
where Java is right now,
as did the settlement
between Microsoft and
Sun, the new JCP
revision, and the new 1.5
JDK. One conversation was
with the author of a...
It was April 2, when I
first heard the news that
Sun and Microsoft had
reached a settlement on
their long-standing
dispute over Java. When I
first saw the headline, I
honestly thought it was a
leftover April Fool's
joke, so I ignore...
The Wireless Messaging
API (WMA) reference
implementation supports
short message service
(SMS) text and binary
messages, but leaves the
implementation of the hot
area of multimedia
messaging untouched. This
article will demonstrate ...
Hardly anyone ever thinks
about application
management frameworks
until the application is
running in a production
environment and the
application needs
managing. The use of Java
and J2EE has allowed
business code to be
written at...
Anyone who has dealt with
complex enterprise
applications knows the
value of a good logging
solution. Features such
as consolidating log
files, separating events,
and turning debugging on
or off all come free with
a good logging API.
Your software may be
under attack! Reverse
engineers can't wait to
get their hands on your
binaries and learn their
secrets. Okay, so that's
a little melodramatic,
but for many software
companies like mine,
there is a competitive

High-performing software
teams use code reviews to
improve the quality of
their code and to keep
team members informed of
what's going on in the
larger application.
However, keeping track of
which packages, classes,
and methods have...
How can Swing be made
more tenable to a broader
range of developers? Amy
Fowler, a senior staff
engineer at Sun
Microsystems and one of
the founding members of
the Java Swing GUI
Toolkit, discusses Swing,
JSF, and the Java Desktop

Among geneticists there
is an ongoing argument
about which species is
superior: humans or
bacteria. Both are the
end product of millions
of years of evolutionary
refinement; they just
took separate routes on
the road to survival.
Java developers have
access to a variety of
error detection tools,
such as try/catch blocks
and variants of the
Exception class, but few
mechanisms provide a
structured, interactive
recovery. As a result,
users are frequently
face...
Just as the Web has
revolutionized
information distribution
and retrieval, instant
messaging is
revolutionizing
communication. Instant
messaging is a powerful
tool that few enterprises
or application developers
have fully harnesse...
David Litwack is
responsible for the
development and
advancement of Novell's
secure Web services
strategy, a position he
assumed in July 2002
following Novell's
acquisition of
SilverStream Software, a
company for which he'd

(From JDJ May Print
Edition) The annual
Gartner Research Report
analyzing the application
server market share among
leading vendors is
expected to be out this
month. Open-source JBoss

How do five of IBM's most
highly-placed executives,
the five GMs of its
Software Group, see the
future unfolding in areas
like grid and autonomic
computing, security,
systems management,
application development,
and SOAs? What's the...
