Debugging Swing - is it really difficult ?
Every experienced Swing developer knows that Swing components must be accessed from Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) only. Working with JComponents from any other thread may lead to unpredictable results. Funny thing, I took part in interviewing several java programmers who claimed to know Swing well, but at the same time some of them had no idea what EDT is. —

Great Expectations and a few disappointments with NetBeans 5
I was always suspicious that NetBeans were a second-class citizen inside Sun, but a recent statement from Robert Brewin threw off many of my fears. Yet I think NetBeans is taking some wrong paths in spite of the great new features. —

Re: Inheritance in jaxb2
It is not always necessary to specify all the classes that are mapped in the JAXBContext.newInstance(..) call. JAXB 2.0 will compute a reference closure on the classes specified. (see javadoc for javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(..) for more information). In this case, since a parameterized list is used as the type of the property, I am not certain that this will work. We will look into this further. In the meantime, please try the above and let us know if it works. —
Re: Chapter 5: Rules of the Game
* Economics. This is wrong. The reason that programmers will ditch one language for another is if it solves their pain. The reason I haven't switched to Python or Ruby for instance is that not only do they not solve any pains for me, but they cause new ones. Show me Ruby without warting, and Python without magic underscores, and I may become more interested. When I switched from VB/C++ to Java it was because it alleviated a huge pain. No such massive pain exists in the Java world (except Struts and XP weenies). —

Plugging Memory Leaks with Weak References
While programs in the Java language are theoretically immune from "memory leaks," there are situations in which objects are not garbage collected even though they are no longer part of the program's logical state. In Plugging Memory Leaks with Weak References, Brian Goetz explores a common cause of unintentional object retention and shows how to plug the leak with weak references.
