Earlier this week I’ve received the Javalobby newsletter featuring an article by Antonio Goncalves on Why are we not using Java EE 5? While there is much to be discussed on the subject, I’ve been thinking about his statement on testing : Testing a Java EE 5 application is definitely not as easy as a Spring application. We live in a world where everybody talks about test, but nobody really does it. Java EE 5 doesn’t help in this aspect.
I am not really sure he means Java EE 5 applications aren’t easier to test than ones written based on previous specification versions, because if he is, More >
Beans Binding & JPA

I have been continuing my work on integrating Beans Binding (JSR 295) and the Swing Application Framework (JSR 296) with the work I have been doing on providing a JPA enabled HMVC framework for Swing developers. I must already say that getting to the information on how to exactly use these two apis isn’t straight forward. JavaDoc is probably not what it should be. I can’t really blame them on this, as I am probably the worst candidate for this exercise. Document, as in RTFM, is completely nonexistent. As I was coding on some UI parts of the demo application for this, I got mail about the More >

Bruce Eckel tried to introduced the Open Space concept to the event this year. While I haven’t had a chance to participate in any of the round tables, I think it was pretty quiet on that side of the venue… Sad, as the CITCON in Brussels, More >

Still it remained a very enjoyable event… I had a really great time and many possibilities to chat with interesting people: attendees, the JavaDB guys and with speakers that I either met for the first time or was really glad to see again. Here’s a small video by Dion Almaer from Ajaxian.com, so that you make sure not to miss it next year.

That’s finally it
I’m slowly moving my blog away from jroller.com. I’ve had enough of all the troubles. Besides this website will also host a few projects I’m currently working on…
Still need some time to get everything done: migrating my jroller content to this blog, importing the projects in this subversion repository and creating their wiki pages, but I’m on it!
