Hello,

I'm new to the group and would like to connect with fellow J2ME developers.
Through my company, mobileXware, I've recently started developing for mobile
devices and am in the process of getting our app to work with J2ME Polish.

If you have done or currently do any J2ME development please send me an email.
Thanks!

Hey All,

Don't forget that the Denver/Boulder Groovy Code Camp
<http://www.groovycodecamp.com/
  > will be here before you know it -- July 28-29.

You've seen Scott Davis (and others) give Groovy demonstrations at the
Denver JUG. You've been reading about Groovy in "Groovy Recipes"
<http://www.pragprog.com/titles/sdgrvr/groovy-recipes
  > and the ongoing "Practically Groovy" series at IBM developerWorks
<http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/views/java/libraryview.jsp?search_by=practica\
lly+groovy:
  >

But how much time have you spent actually programming in Groovy
yourself? The Groovy Code Camp is your chance to build that muscle
memory by hands-on, lab-driven training. Bring your laptop, and we'll
make sure that you have Groovy installed and configured. After that,
it's two intense nights of *you* doing the typing, *you* doing the
learning, and *you* jump-starting your Groovy programming skills in
the quickest, easiest way possible. There is no better way to learn a
new technology than rolling up your sleeves and digging in with an
expert or two hanging around to help out if you get stuck.

I know how hard it is to get time off of work for training from your
company. And taking weekend time away from your family is just as
hard. That's why the Groovy Code Camp is two nights -- Tuesday and
Wednesday, from 6pm - 10pm. It's like the DenverJUG on steroids, only
just a wee bit North. (The Groovy Code Camp is being held on the CU
campus in Boulder, the same place as the regular BJUG meetings.)

At $250, Groovy Code Camp is affordable enough for you to take control
of your knowledge portfolio. In this down economy, you need to ensure
that you have *tomorrow's* technology on your resume, not yesterday's.

Use the discount code "DJUG", and we'll take an additional $50 off.
That's $200 for two nights of hands-on training from recognized
experts in the field, like Scott Davis.

Visit us at GroovyCodeCamp.com for all of the details.

See you there,
Scott Davis

Has anyone out there been using Drools in a commercial product?
What is your take on them?
Advantages and Disadvantages?

Thanks

I'm looking for software that can help me build a "choose-your-own-
adventure" style customer support FAQ.  Our developers find themselves
answering the same questions over and over, I want to find something
that will allow the support team to document a bread-crumb trail that
led to an answer so that they can find the answer themselves next
time.  I thought about just using a wiki to do it but I'm worried that
it may be over the heads of some of the support team (not knocking our
support, just don't know them very well yet).  The optimum solution
would be one where a user is presented a series of questions that lead
them to an answer, and let them create and link additional questions as
they find different paths in their investigations.

Does anyone out there use something like this already, if so is it a
home-grown or commercial product?

Jason

I will be out of the office starting  11/20/2008 and will not return until
11/24/2008.

If your email is urgent, you may send it to my home email address:
brucekpowell@...   Otherwise, I will respond to your email when I
return to work.

So, at the NFJS conference, Venkat had a talk in which he mentioned at least
getting a start on containing warnings within a base of code.

One thing he suggested was having the build fail if warnings are greater
than the current number....so at least it doesn't grow.

But...the next thing would be to have the build notice if warnings went
down, and make that the new max to fail on if warnings go over that new max.

Now - my question is, anyone have an ant script to do this?

It's more than magnificent -- it's mediocre.

I have no nefarious plans.  I recorded some things in the past (2004),
dropped it on my shared drive at home and have not seen it since, but
get a warm feeling knowing it's there (maybe).  simply wanted to get
the context of another presentation (that you can not get with slides)

I did upload slides from one conference on a nas drive at work and
tried to get everyone to take a peek at some things.  No such luck.

Yesterday I sent out a spec at work that was very important and no one
(stake holders) even read it.  Just said "looks good to me".  At any
rate it is not that a recording of any presentation that would cause
concern, but what someone thinks about what could be done with it, and
all those thoughts are simply not based on reality given I can get no
one to listen to other things anyway.  Everyone is too freaking busy
with their own things and live in their own little reality to look
outside all the things they are focused on and have pressure to
deliver day to day.  A recording only, would not draw much attention
given there are 1K+ actual quality videos from some of the conferences
that you list below.

thanks for the info.  I am here with several other people from my
company, but they all want to go to other sessions and not the one I I
am looking for but it's not a big deal.

at any rate I have caught a number of Groovy things at the local jug
here, but will catch more of them if I can.  Mostly checking out rich
client related presentations as that relates to what I am currently
doing.

I'm sorry if my initial response sounded flippant. This is a
commercial conference. I don't run it -- I'm just one of the speakers.
If you'd like to discuss the matter with someone who can speak about
in better detail than me, Jay Zimmerman runs the conference. His email
is jay@.... Or you can talk to him directly -- he'll
be behind the registration desk as you check in.

Your problem is a common one -- I attend as many conferences as I
present at, and often times I have to make the same tradeoffs that you
are going to have to make this weekend. You are always faced with hard
decisions, whether it is at JavaOne, QCon, The ServerSide, or any of
the other conferences. But the common thread among all of them is that
they are commercial and none of them allow the attendees to record the
sessions -- for personal use or otherwise.

For selfish reasons I hope to see you at my Groovy sessions on Friday,
but you'll be in good hands whichever sessions you decide to attend. I
know Ken, Brian, Neal, and Jared all very well -- there's not a bad
presenter in the bunch. Here's a link to the schedule to help you make
your decision:

Best of luck,

Um... what about taking notes?  Is this allowed?

I was tinking to myself there would be no harm in it or gain for
anyone except NFJS (ask me how).

If this is for personal use and information only, there is no harm in
it and it is perfectly OK.  Think of it as an extended form of note
taking.

Oh well, I will just have to put all the Groovy sessions on hold and
simply review the slides later (or not).  Getting started with Groovy
can wait until next year.  Or the next.  No rush.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but recording sessions is not allowed.
The slides are available as PDFs on a USB key to all attendees.

At the upcoming NFJS symposium, there is a session block with two
presentations that I would really like to see.  I can't physically be
at both, so am looking for someone that can record the other one for
me.

I can download the slides for later review.

I have a recorder to lend, if I can find someone to assist.  It will
not be the same experience as being present, but the next best thing.
