Since generics were out and I started using them, there were always a few cases in which I couldn't make them do what I wanted. I always thought it was my problem, and that I didn't understand what was going on... Turns out: it's not. There are at least two things that are implemented in a way that break what I thought were very safe expectations.

In this example we are going to use Eclipse Galileo which you can download and then install from here. You will...

If the kind of topics we're research interests you, please feel free to join the project;...

SDL / Swing is tiny (a single 283K jar with no external dependencies), unobtrusive and very easy to learn. We believe it is far and away the easiest way to create Swing UIs. We hope you find it of interest.

The NetBeans team is busy enabling NetBeans Platform developers to integrate JavaFX components into their applications. Since there is no official way of accessing JavaFX from Swing, the NetBeans team will provide open-sourced API equivalents of JavaFX components.

Wow, we are less than a week away from SXSW Interactive and Music Festivals. And I’m very excited. The Interactive Festival runs from March 12 – 16 and this year is looking solid! One of the new additions to the Interactive Festival is the Future15 series on Convergence, Greater Good, Emerging, and Business. These are 15 minutes talks by experts on the aforementioned topics.
Under Emerging is the Wireless Future15, which I helped curate and will be hosting on March 13 (Saturday) on the Hilton Room K. The agenda is as follows (starts at 11 AM):
For more information about the Wireless Future15 speakers and topics see the Future15 Emerging schedule. So I hope to see you at SXSW Interactive and the Wireless Future15! Oh, and don’t forget the BizSpark Accelerator at SXSW — with my good friend Dean McCall as Emcee. ceo

BlueSoleil is a Java ME tech-enabled app that lets you synchronize data between phones and Windows PCs, using the Bluetooth radio that's on most cell phones and PCs these days. You would know about Bluetooth being on your cell phone and PC, that is, unless you've been hiding under a technophobic rock. See: Use Java ME & Bluetooth to back up Here's a quote: So long as you can establish a Bluetooth connection between your Java- or [blah-blah-blah] mobile phone and a Windows XP or Vista computer... you can perform up to 18 different data management functions over the wireless connection. So, go ahead and back it on up... Beep, beep, beep... That's the sound of your data backing on up. :-)

Yesterday, March 5, 2010, our friend Felipe Gaúcho has passed away due to a severe heart attack. His last role at CEJUG was as a principal advisor, after several years as coordinator. Felipe was one of the CEJUG’s founders and he has become one of the greatest Java evangelists in Brazil and worldwide. Creator of the Java University Prize (PUJ), Felipe worked hard to motivate Brazilian students to give their very best on their student career. We are mourning the loss of our JUG Leader Felipe Gaúcho.

SpotlightsMichael Van Geertruy has created a new java.net project, fossesi, the Free and Open Source Software Enterprise Solutions Institute: What does FossESI do? FossESI studies the integration of new free and open source software (FOSS) into existing enterprises. The bulk of our code will be from various technology tutorials, and our own integration "glue" code. We are kicking off the group on April 28, 2010.
