Open Media Commons turns the tables on DRM: When Jonathan Schwartz talked about the "Age Of Participation" back during Java One 2005, he wasn't kidding. Now it seems that Java sits squarely in the middle and has it's sights set on Digital Rights Management with the announcement of the Open Media Commons initiative. Does Java need friends?: The access modifiers currently supported in Java allows granting access to members within a class to members within the same class, members within the sub-classes, classes belonging to the same package and all the other classes through the private, protected, package and public visibility modifiers. However, in certain scenarios you may want to have more flexible visibility mechanisms.

In our search to tune startup performance, it would be helpful to know what developers need us to optimize. Is Simon Phipps' mailbox full?: "If you think Sun is doing something that is clueless, you can e-mail ombudsman@sun.com and have an impartial individual look at your complaint or comment and, where possible, act on it" Look Back in Anger: Take count, literally, of your Java efforts.

August 18 2005Introducing JAXB2 reflection project: When you are working with JAXB-bound classes, it's sometimes convenient to be able to parse those JAXB annotations by yourself. For example, some people are interested in implementing a subset of XPath engine on top of JAXB beans. When doing this kind of stuff, you'd like to know answers for questions like "does this class have a property that maps to attribute name?" or "what's the element name of this class?" JAXB2 reflection library is exactly this kind of library.

Finally, a Good Use for Finalizers: Tom describes a way finalizer methods can be used to warn of bad code usage. Migrating to J2SE 5.0: Looking for a reason to migrate to J2SE 5.0...look no further than these articles to provide all the reason you'll ever need.

Folksonomy, Ajax FUD and crazy elevator hacks: Folksonomy, Ajax FUD and crazy elevator hacks August 15 2005Pluggable ID/IDREF handling in JAXB 2.0: It's often convenient to be able to define a sophisticated reference integrity mechanism that goes beyond ID/IDREF. Jeremy Haile, one of the JAXB users, convinced me that we should do this in the RI. While it took me a month to get back to this, I was finally able to implement it. That's what I'm going to talk about today.
I still remember teaching courses in Java at the San Francisco campus of the University of California, Berkeley (Extension) in 1996 and 1997. Today, Java courses continue with their popularity.
Not Invented Here?: "Not Invented Here", a clever phrase often used as a pejorative to indicate that somebody (usually due to ego?) would rather reinvent the wheel and write their own implementation than leverage an existing (and by implication, better) implementation. In this entry I try to shed some light on real technical reasons why "rolling your own" may be better than relying on somebody else's implementation. Under Pressure: Focusing on Java performance... also:
You have to know everything to understand anything: Have you ever felt like you had to know everything in order to understand anything? My recent exploration of blogger client APIs has reminded me how much background context one must have to understand most API specifications.
