JPOX 1.1.0-beta-3 in Maven
I've been interested in JDO technology for a good year now, and I've begun reapproaching JPOX, which my friend Dion showed me last year. As far as Open Source JDO implementations go, it's supposed to be great. I did run into a few problems while trying to get it running in maven, though. Here are some notes. —

Fit code, part 2
My strategy today is to chew off the routines that are small and/or simple, then go back and figure out the big routines. I have two things I'm trying to understand: "What happens with nested tables?" and "How do I insert stuff into the middle of a Parse?" —

Re: Feedback on SystemTray support in b38
What happens if I set a 16-bit icon when the desktop is in 16-bit mode and then the user changes to 32-bit color depth. I'm guessing my old 16-bit icon will look really ugly.

Erich Gamma on Flexibility and Reuse
In the second part of an interview with Artima.com's Bill Venners, Design Patterns co-author and JUnit co-creator Erich Gamma discusses the appeal and perils of what he calls frameworkitis: "the disease that a framework wants to do too much for you or it does it in a way that you don't want but you can't change it." In Erich Gamma on Flexibility and Reuse, he discusses the challenges of making code reusable and extensible, the role of XP in reusable design, and the advantages of toolkits.
Errors and AJAX
Many web applications are now using AJAX to provide a richer client-side experience, and to reduce the endless page reloads of purely server-driven web applications. This moves some of the responsibility to client-side code, and that can be a good thing. In Joshua Gitlin's XML.com article, Errors and AJAX, he shows how to use the Java-like try-catch-finally supported by recent versions of JavaScript, and use the "onerror" event handler to send error handling into your code.
