"Best Tool for the Job" is a Myth
Browsing around the Q&A on JavaRanch.com I see a lot of the same questions when it comes to web frameworks. To paraphrase: "Which web framework should I choose and why?" I and others often respond with the typical canned answer. This answer comes in ...
Some Reasons Flex Looks Appealing
Update It has been brought to my attention that I have repeated some information contained on the Flex homepage in my ramblings here. I just wanted to point out that is wasn't intentional and I was not trying to plagiarize. But the fact that my ...
Wicket In Action: Chapter 1 Review
I got a surprise in my inbox the other day. Manning released the final ebook version of Wicket In Action. I was surprised because it had been a while since I got an update from Manning that I honestly forgot I had purchased the book. Normally I read a ...
SpringRCP IntelliJ SimpleApp
Yesterday I was going through this SpringRCP Tutorial. It is looking quite promising. My only real problem is that the only plugin available is for Netbeans and I use IntelliJ's IDEA for all my development. So I set out to see what it would take to get ...
[Swing] Implementing Goto Class and Find resource
Last week I wrote an entry on implementing application wide hotkeys or global hotkeys. I mentioned writing a new article on how I implemented IntelliJ's Goto Class though I think calling it the same as Eclipse's Open Resource is a better name for my ...

Re: "Best Tool for the Job" is a Myth
One of the things I do as a professional, is realizing solutions that were the best available at one point no longer are. At that point, you must be able to admit this, and choose differently. But when using a full-stack framework, this is generally not ...
Re: Some Reasons Flex Looks Appealing
Hey Gregg, I don't know anything about Flex but do you mean that we can build a front end Flex application that talks to server side Java code (Servlet, JSP and whatever)? What is your favourite list for Flex & ActionScript? Thanks.
Re: [Swing] Application Wide Hotkeys
One solution is to simply ensure that each action has a corresponding JMenuItem in one of your menus. Assign accelerators to the menu items, and you get global keyboard handling for free from Swing's built-in menu infrastructure.

Benchmarks Mean Squat

Squat is a technical term...

I just read a claim that JavaFX benchmarked at 186 fps. I thought that was pretty impressive. I had to check it out. I followed the link to the BubbleMark site and tried the JavaFX jnlp on both JDK1.6.0_05 and JDK1.6.0_10 preview release. Both performed miserably. 9 FPS!!

My machine's specs:

Ubuntu 7.10 - Gnome Desktop (Compiz turned off)
Duel Core 2.1GHz
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT (256MB)

All this proves really is that benchmarks mean squat.
