Hello folks,as I have some spare time now (being on leave for two weeks), I would like to point your attention to the JSR-295 "Beans Binding" databinding framework for Swing, which seems to be near completion. Proper databinding support looks to me to become a big plus for rich client applications with Java.The lead of the project has very recently been taken over by Shannon Hickey, who

Today I read an essay by Clay Shirky about the problems of classification that we face in nowadays digital world. I really liked that article! If there is a librarian living somewhere in your heart, please click on the link hidden in the topic for this entry and read his text, it is entertaining and informative both at the same time.In essence, he tells that a hierarchical classification like the

This is rather off topic, but something I just stumbled upon. The cerulean guy praises their instant lookup feature, which I personally find rather annoying in its current form. Because of which I disabled it.Not because I dislike the feature, but because it happens to disturb while not being used. As soon as the mouse pointer accidentally sits on a word which wikipedia has information about, it

I put some source code in the public domain. It manages tasks and might ease the one or the other multithreading implementation. Check it out and tell me what you think.CheersEff

I like Java. As a matter of fact Java is the one language that I get around with best and which I like to use in just as many projects as I can. The current project needs a lot of specialized mathematics, most of which in the area of linear algebra - meaning matrices and their decompositions, determinants, eigenvectors, singular values, stuff like that. I want to do that with Java as well. The

This one is a little off-topic, but otherwise quite hot. If your music preferences are a little off-mainstream you might be interested in this new offer. Key features are: no DRM, high quality mp3 (192kbps), 88cent per song. I tried to test it yesterday and the server behaved quite slow. The registration procedure was buggy also, probably only little tested with international customers in mind.

JetBrains grants free IDEA licenses for everyone who is active committer to an active open source project. Anybody want to start such a project? I sure would like that license :) Cheers Eff

TheServerSide reports that a new EJB3 draft has been published. Read it, if interested. In case you don't why you should be interested: EJB3 addresses lots of the concerns that developers had in the past about EJB. It should become easier to use and more elegant. It incorpoorates ideas from Hibernate and JDO. Current draft: http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/edr/jsr220/index2.html

How to build responsive web UIs Dear Reader, Web based user interfaces are hot. Lots of applications took the portable road to webiness instead of staying in the good old realm of the well known client applications, which have to be deployed and maintained on the client. What has been left behind? Usability for the most part had to stay home. A responsive user interface? An application which
