  • DEVOXX Surprise: Out of Nowhere, Closures in JDK 7!

    editor
    19 Nov 2009 | 5:29 am
    Conferences typically include some surprise announcements, usually by corporate sponsors of the conference. But a great many developers were astonished by the unexpected news from DEVOXX '09 that JDK 7 will include closures. Here's an image (resized smaller) that I found in Alex Miller's post Closures after all? Mark Reinhold at Devoxx: Closures in JDK 7 Alex isn't at DEVOXX, but I think he speaks for a great many developers in his opening commentary: I can't say what to make of that really. For years Sun has been saying that there is no consensus on closures and delayed the formation of a…

  • Java EE and EJBs in the News

    editor

    Today's java.net home page features two Java Today items and one java.net blog that cover different aspects of Java EE. Adam Bien writes about the current state of adoption of EJB 3 / Java EE; peligri covers the JavaEE 6 specs that have been submitted to the Executive Committee; and Masoud Kalili provides an overview on the state of open source Java EE app servers. At this past JavaOne, I recorded a java.net Community Corner podcast with Adam, "Real World Java EE Patterns: Rethinking Best Practices". As our conversation proceeded, I was surprised to learn how lightweight EJBs can actually be.

Twitter coverage of conferences seems to be overtaking blogging, at least for as-it-happens coverage. If you go to the DEVOXX 2009 home page, you see "#Devoxx Tweets" prominently occupying the left column of the page. Meanwhile, a search for Devoxx posts at Technorati or Google Blog Search as I write this post (about 6:00 AM GMT Tuesday), yields only a few blog entries. This is amazing to me!

    19 Nov 2009 | 5:30 pm
    One of the interesting announcements to come out of Devoxx '09 this year is the decision to include closures in JDK 7. The decision whether to include them or not has been debated for ages and just when it seemed that they weren't going to be, now they are. If you've missed the whole closure debate there's an excellent article on JavaWorld - Understanding the closures debate (although exactly how closures will be implemented is still not certain). The announcement also coincided with the news that the release of JDK 7 has been put back to September 2010 to allow some extra time to complete a…

Each block has different options allowing you to customize the effect it has on the graphics being created. Finally, the finished output can be exported as a movie file or a JavaFX application. It's a very nifty tool that's quite fun to muckaround with. It's still being developed but if you…

  • How To Accurately Test Your Java Speed And Precision

    Vaibhav Pandey
    10 Nov 2009 | 5:30 am
    I don’t think you need to compute your program execution time everytime you execute your program but sometimes when you need to compare performance then it becomes necessary to compute the execution time. When you need to compare programming styles then you may consider calculating the time required by each program to complete the task, shorter the time ir the faster the program is. Since processors are much faster now and new RAM is capable of millions of loops complete within a split second. There is a need to calculate speed and the precision of 1000th of a second. In order to…

  • Starting System Processes Through JAVA Exec Command

    Vaibhav Pandey
    27 Oct 2009 | 5:30 am
    Java is capable of executing threads by starting and running them. Java Programming language also provides you with the ability to start the heavyweight system processes. Threads are lightweight processes and can be called as a subprocess. Executing or starting a System process is completely different than executing a thread. Java. lang provides a method exec() which is used to name and run the process. The exec() method returns a process object and is invoked on Runtime instance. Runtime is an abstract class whcih can be instantiated as the following: Runtime rt = Runtime. getRuntime();…

    Strings are very important part of any programming language. Same is the case with Java. There are so many String methods in String class and it will become difficult to explain all of them. I am mainly focusing on some methods which are worthful to beginners. I will also explain some basics about Strings here which makes Strings easy to understand. So, lets begin. Basics about Strings in Java 1.You can create Strings in various ways:- a) By Creating a String Object String s=new String(”abcdef”); b) By just creating object and then referring to string String a=new String();…

  • Making Efficient Use Of Available Memory With JVM

    Vaibhav Pandey
    21 Sep 2009 | 7:57 am
    Strings are undoubtedly the most important part of any programming language. The same is the case with Java programming Language. Handling String objects in memory is a demanding task. One of the key goals of any good programming language is to make efficient use of available memory. As the size of our application grows the size that string literals occupy also becomes larger. Sometime memory may overflow due to high number of string literals used. There may be literal redundancy in the memory. In case of Java programming Language JVM does all memory related tasks specially related with…

  • Building Variable Shadowing In Java

    Vaibhav Pandey
    1 Sep 2009 | 6:07 am
    There are many ways so that we can shadow our variables. One way is to hide an instance variable by shadowing it by local variable. Shadowing happens when we redecalre a variable that has already been declared somewhere else in the program. The effect of shadowing is to hide certain variables in such a way that it may look as though you are using the hidden variable,but you are actually using shadowed variable. Typically it happens by accidents which returns some hard to find bugs,and there are reasons where you wish to use variable shadowing. I assume you have no knowledge of Shadowing…

    I'm back in lovely Antwerp for Devoxx. The purgatory we're in over the situation with Oracle has it's pluses and minuses. On the plus side, I don't have to do a keynote.... Steve Harris from Oracle get's that job. I will be doing a talk, but I'll be concentrating on the store we're in the process of launching. The hard part is that the only questions that anyone will be asking are the ones that neither Steve nor I can answer: until the acquisition clears the EC competition commission and closes, we're required to be mostly silent about the future.

    Put an accountant, a lawyer, an MBA and a software engineer together into a room... Sounds like the lead-in to a bad joke, but it's the exercise that the Java Store team has been living through for the past several months. At the PayPal conference today Eric Klein did an announcement and demo of the next phase in the Java Store's development. We've been working with PayPal on this for some time, using their new PayPal X platform. It always amazes me how complex it is to deal with all the details of global finance. And even so, the store today only handles US issues. But the framework is in…

I consider myself a latecomer: I didn't get my first real internet email address until 1977, C410JG40@CMUA. I was "jag" on various Unix systems before then, but it wasn't until 1977 that the ARPAnet and email really took over my life. I soon realized that the only real-world friendships I kept up with were folks that I could send email to. I disappeared from my brother and sister's lives until they got email addresses 20 years later. Of course now it's gotten to…

    One of the big announcements at JavaOne was the Java Store. I'm especially proud of it because I've been secretly working on the project for the past few months. Since the announcement I've gotten a lot of questions on the store and how it relates to the rest of the Java ecosystem. To supplement the excellent FAQ I thought I'd answer a few questions. What's the one paragraph summary of what you've announced? We have announced the private beta of the Java Store, a desktop client to let people browse and purchase desktop Java applications, and the open beta of the Java warehouse where…

Lots of JavaFX related things were announced at JavaOne, many of them concerning future products and other bits that aren't released yet. This post won't cover any of those. There were so many things discussed at JavaOne that I'm afraid some of the key points of the new JavaFX might have been missed.

This means the following code will throw a NumberFormatException Locale.setDefault(new Locale("nl", "NL")); String s = "2.343.298,09324798"; BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(s); To parse localized strings as BigDecimal we instead need to use the DecimalFormat class Locale.setDefault(new Locale("nl", "NL")); String s = "2.343.298,09324798"; DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(); df.setParseBigDecimal(true); BigDecimal [...]
