Could it be dared to say that java is overdesigned ?
Java 7 is coming. And it’s an awesome project ! Now that java is distributed under the GPL, developers can believe that the JSR way of doing things will be more and more pragmatic.
The title of this post is a little bit coarse but this is the feeling java gives to developpers who “learn and use java to create and run programs that make devices and internet useful for people“.
I just read some articles about jdk7 changes that I want to share :
About the new framework for fork-join style parallel decomposition and the ParallelArray class in java.util.concurrent :
About the first attempt to give packages and visibility modifiers a lift :
The first ones are really exciting ! The one about the superpackages scares me a little. I know it’s the first “public” communication about it but I sincerely hope that the final solution will be presented with successfull examples of complex implementations, ie. will be pragmatic.
Building an EJB3 app using GlassFish v2, Maven2 and NetBeans 6
In an article explicitly titled Building an EJB 3.0 application using GlassFish v2, Apache Maven 2 and NetBeans IDE 6.0, Jacek Laskowski explain in detail how Netbeans 6 can be used by maven users willing to use GlassFish as an EJB3 container.
I’m currently doing these type of things with Netbeans 6 but I didn’t know it was feasible with so few command line maven invocations.
