Java2D/Swing problems w/small, bold fonts?
I've been using Eclipse for years on Windows XP SP2, no problems, but I wanted to try out NetBeans, which uses Swing instead of SWT. Oof! All the small (18pt and below) bold fonts looked chunky, blocky, almost like dot-matrix pseudo-bold. [...] It seems like Swing is not properly applying/emulating native font smoothing to bold fonts, while AWT is. And that this has been the case at least as far back as 1.5. And not fixed in 6. I find that hard to believe, so I must be doing something wrong. Please, God, let me be doing something wrong, because I wanna use a Swing app and not have my eyes hurt. — 

end-to-end wsit
I have a doubt on how to achive en-to-end security use case with wsit. As I understood this is the major advantage over SSL, which is point-to-point security. Let's have some examle: we have app A which is connect to app B, and B is connect to C. So lets say that B is intermidiate app. We want that A call service at C, but that must go through B, where B can decript only one part of message, change it, and sign this part plus some second part of message. B in this couldnt see some part of message which are aimed to be only for A to decript and read. So A will succesfully validate message if he sees that expecialy some part are sign by B and the rest sign by C. Is this what we mean by end-to-end security? So should we declare more than one public keys at A (for B and C) for operation? — 

Re: Custom App for T-Mobile Wing?
The question I have now is, I'm trying to develop a background process that will always run on my wing, that will check a web site status every 5 minutes or so. The current MIDlet I've developed works great until you try to switch out of java and go back to normal phone mode. All the java MIDlet stuff suspends and doesn't run till you reactivate it. hope I can find a way to get a java MIDlet to run in the background!? Maybe I can somehow escape the MIDlet environment and run raw java? Any other possibilities? —
