The last day of JavaOne...
My keynote was this morning, followed by a panel session and a blur of conversations with the press, customers and developers. I could write a book on what's gone on today, but I'm so tired after 4 incredible days that I'm not going to be able to do it all justice. —

JavaOne - what a cool, next-generation, Brazilian experience
I swear to god, if i hear the word "cool" one more time, i'll put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. But then, i look at my own nick and take a deep breath. There's a cartoon too. —

Desktop track: How'd it work for you?
Having spent way too much effort this year helping to plan and execute the Desktop track this year, I'd love to know how well it worked for the folks that went. Any talks you really liked, or really didn't? Any topics you were happy we covered, or happy we didn't? Or topics you wish we had covered? How effective were the presentations? I'd like to see us keep improving the Desktop track (and the conference overall); let us know if you have ideas on what we can do next time around to improve it for you. —
not pure java?
After downloading the Linux version of GlassFish I noticed there are indeed native parts (*.so) there. What are they for? I am running on FreeBSD which can emulate a Linux environment (mostly.. err, sometimes...). I have both a FreeBSD jdk 1.5 and a Linux one available ... What's the deal - can I expect the rest will work w/o the *.so? —

Java Turns 10: The Developer Retrospective
Java recently celebrated its 10th birthday, but where does it stand today and where is it going? In Java Turns 10: The Developer Retrospective, prominent developers and community luminaries (including Bruce Tate, Jack Herrington, Jim Waldo and others) talk about Java's history, the tools they use, the client-side story, things they'd like to see changed and, of course, whether Sun should open-source Java.
An Ant Modular Build Environment for Enterprise Applications
Chances are you use Ant--an ONJava survey showed that 94
percent of their readers use it--but are you getting the most out of it? As
Les Hazlewood notes, "today's enterprise Java projects are complex in
structure, functionality, and organization. They usually have a lot of
source code and supporting artifacts (properties files, images, etc.) to
manage." An ideal build system will help manage this complexity, by
building only what's needed for specific tiers, by catching unintended
dependencies, and by keeping configuration management hassle to a minimum.
In An Ant Modular Build Environment for Enterprise Applications, Les
Hazlewood shows you how to construct a more modular build that helps
achieve these goals.
