Notebook project
The still-incubated Notebook project shows a lot of promise, offering a simple program to organize notes, to-dos, lists, and anything else you need to jot down. "Notebook is designed to be small, fast, and portable. This makes it ideal to keep on a USB thumb drive, and use on any computer with Java 1.5 or higher installed. Notebook is also designed to be simple and easy to use. No extensive menus, no complicated options, and no fluff." The first release offers executables for Mac and Windows, as well as a plain JAR file.

JBI: Application Development w/o Coding, are we there yet?
Often people take a look at JBI and expect to be developing new service engines and binding components, but more often than not an application developer won't need to code anything at all! (or at least thats the vision) —

Black Belt results at Jazoon'07
The Java Black Belt competition during Jazoon'07 was a fun and exciting moment, all
those geeks competing for the great prize in front a large audience. As an old Java developer
I obviously tried and I guess my performance was pretty well. —

C# 2.0: Java 8?
A current investigation into Webservices and the differences between C# and Java 6 brings me to the conclusion that development of application today is not a matter of syntax or runtime but a matter of deployment and tools. —

Jazelle
I recall reading something about needing a license to run Java with Jazelle on ARM, but I can't remember where I saw it... Does anyone know anything about what would be needed to run PhoneME (or another JVM for that matter) using the Jazelle features? Since I suppose it would boost performance a lot on an ARM926EJ it would be sweet if it was at all possible. —
How to find out if a thread has finished execution?
Hi, Am new to multi-threaded programming. I have a question: I start a new thread from the main thread. This new thread has to update a swing component & thats it. How do I know when the new thread has finished its execution? Also, I need to kill the thread once it finishes its execution?..or will Java's GC take care of it? If I need to kill it from the code, how do I do it? I see that the destroy() method of Thread class is deprecated. —
Re: Production Deployments
Just because the IDEs can do deploys and/or that developers use that feature in their day to day development, doesn't mean that you need or should rely on that to do your production deploys. For example, with Netbeans, you can leverage the Ant scripts that it generates to rebuild your application away from the developers and then deploy it to whereever and however you like, or you can integrate with any of the myriad of tools for that kind of thing. At the moment, I'm just hand deploying EARs through the admin interface for our internal "public facing" day by day builds. Eventually we'll do some continuous integration tool set. —
