(Assuming this group is still active) Suppose you inherit a large code base of Java. What do you do to assist you and others in understanding it? Any special...
One thing I've heard to do is add unit tests. That way if you ever refactor you can know if it's working or if it's not after any changes. Some of the stuff...
I've done editing/validation of files in Emacs and in XMLSpy, but it'd be nice if I could do the same with Eclipse w/o switching to another app. What plug-in...
If memory serves, the XMLSpy people produce an eclipse plugin that will use the XMLSpy engine to do your editing, while still in eclipse. I've also used the...
... Sounds reasonable - you'll quickly know if something you did broke something, at which point you not only inherited it, you bought it. :) Any tools to...
Check out the Web Tools Platform (WTP) Eclipse Project. I believe the WST subproject includes a validating XML editor. http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ WTP...
So, I found Ted's presentation last night on byte code very interesting. He had a lot of ground to cover there, so he really didn't have time for questions at...
The tough part is really annotations, enums and using new API calls. Other than that, using the jsr14 target back-door works really well. I've used this...
Group, I'm working on a web-based application that uses a JavaScript tree for navigation. It uses drag and drop and live status updates. The current...
I think we've uncovered a bug in Java but it seems too big not to have been noticed before. The code below sets a calendar to be in the 1st 1am hour of the...
If you have been using JBoss or Apache Tomcat, Check out WebSphere Community Edition <http://http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/zones/was/wasce.html\ ...
Denver Java Users Group, I'd like to make the Denver Java Users Group community aware of a couple of JavaFX Script resources that are now available: 1) My...
Sun bloggers (yep, I'm one of them too) started a campaign to ask Apple to at least give some information about what is happening with Java 6 on Leopard. We...
My company has a Web-based Java EE application for which we'd like a clean, MVC style separation between presentation and business logic. The framework should...

Hire smart developers and they should be able to learn your chosen web framework in a couple of days. If they can't, it's probably your web framework's fault....
We spent a week working with JSF but discarded it as too invasive to our current java objects. We were already using Spring framework sitting on Hibernate....
To that end, JSF makes my head hurt. I took a week long class (from Exadel) and used it at work for a few months and it never clicked for me personally. Too...

"Hire smart developers and they should be able to learn your chosen web framework in a couple of days" is nearly impossible with JSF unless they have done a...
One thing to keep in mind is that JSF is really designed for specific types of applications where other frameworks are lower level to provide a foundation for...
I share Matt's thoughts on the talent pool concerns. As both a recruiter and developer, I can attest that employers too often emphasize technologies over...
I have a unique opportunity to start a software development effort from scratch. I wanted to get some opinions on: - What development tools and frameworks...
This is amazingly open-ended and impossible to answer, sounds like fun. I'm in a similar situation, except my team size is 1 (me) so far. Linux for deployment...

Maybe not possible for you but erlang was designed for those sorts of goals....
You might want to take a look at AppFuse or Vertigo-Java (soon to be renamed to JCatapult) for helping launch the project. AppFuse is more mature and stable,...
demian gave some great insights.. i will throw a couple more in there.. 1) IDE - i am a big fan of IntelliJ; yeah it costs money, but is very advanced in its ...
I'd like to second that, even if you decide to not leverage AppFuse in your own project it has a lot of working code and config to see how to integrate stuff....
