Swixml: The SwiXml project is a small GUI generating engine for Java applications and applets. GUI's are described in XML documents that are parsed at runtime and rendered into javax.swing objects.

Mac OS X 10.4.3 fixes Eclipse IDE: The newly-released Mac OS X 10.4.3 update apparently fixes Eclipse bug 95475, "Eclipse get progressively slow under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)".

Scatter Plots in Japex: Earlier in this blog I introduced Japex, a simple yet powerful tool to write micro-benchmarks in Java. At the time, I've only touched on the basic features by briefly explaining how to write a Japex driver and a Japex configuration file. Today, I'd like to talk about a brand new feature: scatter plots for displaying benchmark's results.

Java Enterprise

JSF Facelets: Does JSF imply JSP? Not necessarily. "Facelets steps outside of the JSP spec and provides a highly performant, JSF-centric view technology... The difference is under the hood where all the burden of the JSP Vendor API is removed to more greatly enhance JSF performance and provide easy plug-and-go development." » Read more

JXTA

JXTA-RM: A message to the dev@jxta.org list that the JXTA-RM project is ready but needs testing beyond the LAN. The project intends to provide reliable multicast in JXTA, as there is no multicast implementation based on UDP transport. Part of the solution is the Java Reliable Multicast Service (JRMS) library, which isolates applications from multicast details. » Read more

Graham Hamilton's blog entry Help Crack The Java Verifier describes CTV's motivations in greater detail. » Read more
