This Is What Ticks Me Off With Sun and Swing

Sun Abandons Non-RIA Developers
Reports here and here state Sun is abandoning Swing. Sure, it will be available in the core API for quite some time and I'm sure they'll get to all the bugs. It's not like there have been bugs that have gone unanswered since Swing was first released. ... 		Nov 6, 2008

Random Thoughts of the Day

Choosing the right Tech for a New Project
For about a year now I've been sitting on a project idea. I've prototyped a few things out, written some stuff down. I've talked to a handful of colleagues about it. Lately it has become something I am more and more interested in doing. Over the last ... 		Oct 23, 2008

[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 ... 		Aug 4, 2008

SwingBuilder: Integrating Groovy and Java
Today's SwingBuilder excursion revolves around the fact that I am developing a Swing application where Groovy isn't being used at all. What I realized was that while I can't say for certain if SwingBuilder really makes complex forms easier to write I do ... 		Apr 9, 2008
