How a standard for Java would have made it better today
XML.com blogger Rick Jelliffe complains that Java's default handling of ZIP files has been broken for nine years, and asserts that it wouldn't have happened if Java had become an ISO-certified standard all those years ago. In Reaping what you sow: How a standard for Java would have made it better today, he writes, "Software maintenance and juggling issues on a budget are not easy. However I think it is more than plausible that had Sun gone ahead and submitted Java to ISO for standardization a decade ago, this issue would have been fixed long ago. Because ISO National Bodies give very high precedence to issues such as internationalization, accessibility, modularity, and conformance."

how to store json data in browser
I am writing a major project with glassfish. We are using a lot of restful services and servlets that talk via browser tru json. Imagine my page loads first, the init method is called in js, and then the dom tree is modified as the user interacts. when the user navigates to a different page within my server, and then hits the back button, the init method in my js executes, and all the data I polled from my server gets destroyed. how can I overcome this limitation? I guess I could store some data in session object, but that would still consume bandwidth. is there no way to store data inside the browser, like in the window. object? —
Re: System Tray Madness!
Flash is free and it doesn't do this. Worse than that, the tooltip has the annoying habit of stealing the focus, causing whatever the user is typing to stop working. Please don't annoy my users with idiotic popups in the notification area. They like using my apps, not having their experience interrupted with popup windows. —
Print a JPanel in headless mode
I'm developing an application from printing plotcharts in headless mode, that is, every hour my app prints a plotchart with some information. What i have is a JPanel (the plot chart) and when i invoke the printAll method, it checks the method isShowing() from Component class. this method checks that the Component is visible and its parent also is visible. My question is if there is any way of printing a JPanel without being visible...and how can i solve this. —
