Introduction to JavaFX Script
ONJava has posted an Introduction to JavaFX Script by Anghel Leonard, which introduces basic syntax, looks at IDE support, and walks through the creation of a simple application. He writes, "JavaFX Script is a capable new language for the Java platform. With it, you can easily build rich, dynamic interfaces in much less time than you could build something comparable in Java with Swing and Java 2D."

JSR-113 (Java Speech API 2.0) Second Proposed Final Draft
Hoping to finish a JSR that was launched way back in April, 2001, the JSR-113 expert group has posted a second proposed final draft of the Java Speech API 2.0. This ME-targeted API "extends the work of the 1.0 Java Speech API, which allows developers to incorporate speech technology into user interfaces for their Java programming language applets and applications. This API specifies a cross-platform interface to support speech recognizers and synthesizers." Compatibility with the W3C Speech Interface Framework is also one of the JSR's goals.

A Bundle of Joy - NOT.
Today, I rant about Sun's blunder in their bundling of JavaDB in JDK 6. Executive summary: 1. Don't rely on JavaDB being present in the JDK. 2. A bungled bundle is worse than no bundle at all. —

wsHttpDualBinding - a non-interoperable binding
Based upon a user request, I'll explain why wsDualHttpBinding (a system-provided binding in WCF) is not an interoperable binding. This blog entry will explain the service endpoint code, client code, generated WSDL and the SOAP messages exchanged based upon the DualHttp Binding Sample that is bundled with the Windows SDK samples. —

Ignoring Bootstrap Classpath Entries (Custom Classloader?)
I am trying to avoid a bug in the 1.5 JRE by loading at runtime a .class file (extracted to a directory) from a JAR file in a previous JRE. However, I'm having difficulty doing this at runtime after checking the version (I only want to load this old version of the class if the current JRE is 1.5). I can add the folder containing the class file to my classpath before the JRE itself under "Bootstrap Entries", at which point the program seems to load the .class file correctly and the bug is avoided, but I can't figure out how to load this class file explicitly at runtime. The problem seems to be that the URLClassLoader I am trying to use always checks if the parent knows where the class is, so it doesn't give preference to the external location (i.e. the location not on the classpath). —
Re: Some basic questions about model and audio cell
The AudioCellGLO plays a sequence of audio files, for example the speech of a recorded avatar or a sequence of songs in the team room. When one treatment in the list ends, the next one begins. AudioCells can be linked into groups as well, so that all treatments in the group start at the same time. This is useful for recorded conversations, to make sure the talkers stay in sync. —
Re: [JAI-IMAGEIO] Need Information about how to read and write a TIFF image using java
There are some examples on jaistuff.dev.java.net that do simple TIFF /O, and the mailing list archives probably have several questions/answers about setting different parameters related to TIFF variations. Helpful hint: in order to solve your problem you could tell us what happened with your previous attempts. —
