What Features Would You Remove from Java?
Following on Neal Gafter's open wondering about removing checked exceptions in order to make a closures implementation easier, and Elliotte Rusty Harold's spirited defense of them, Artima asks its readers What Features Would You Remove from Java? "Removing features can be a useful part of keeping a language simple over time, especially as new features are added to the language. In a recent blog post, Neal Gafter asks whether checked exceptions could be a candidate for removal from Java. If not checked exceptions, then what features would you remove from Java?"

Globalize y[our] mobile applications!
In this entry, I introduce software internationalization (i18n) and localization (i10n) and then, I talk a little bit about JSR 238 - also called Mobile Internacionalization API - and how MSA will help to globalize mobile applications. —

GlassFish V2: On-the-fly upgrade of a developer domain ...
Owing to growing popularity of clustering features of GlassFish V2, from build b48 onwards, we have added a nice feature to dynamically add the clustering support to an existing domain. I expect it to ease migration of your applications to the enterprise, by helping you scale those applications. —

POJOs on the Desktop with the Java Persistence API
Reading the persistence portion of the EJB 3.0 specification, the best thing I discovered was that I could use plain ol' Java objects -- POJOs -- for both my application logic and persistence needs on the desktop. —

Re: SwingX and third party LAFs
I've been thinking this over, and i think that i'd prefer the core way of doing things, namely paintBackground methods. There are two alternatives, images and painters, and both are at this point inferior to the usual core approach. [...] The painter approach looks better than paintBackground() API when you look at the SwingX as a separate project that provides its own core UI delegates. However, in a broader context of third-party LAFs it's just an extra overhead. —
Application Client Web Start
I have been building an application on glassfish v2 beta 2 (as well as trying out b49 and b49) which an application client. The only problem I seem to be stuck on is why I keep getting "download stalled" every time I try to launch the application client via Web Start. While the application will eventually finish loading the download seems to stall and take a long time even over a 100mbit LAN connection. This "download stalled" message occurs every time at about 50% through the download process regardless of which of my computers I have hosting glassfish or if it is via internet or the local network. —
Full support for Windows Mobile 2003/ 5.0
I can see that the only platform fully supported for CDC is Linux/x86. It's a good future intention, but I think that it's not the most recommended platform, as the OS available for mobile devices uses to be mainly Windows Mobile, Symbian or Palm OS. I've noticed that the most viewed post in this forum is 'Building and running on Windows Mobile 5.0 (Pocket PC) iPAQ (1.985 views at the moment)' What about targeting a full support for these OS, maybe beginning with W.Mobile. I know there have been several aproachments, but at the moment Linux/x86 is the only 'official platform' —
