In the spirit of eating our own dog food (sorta), I nabbed a copy of Xwiki, which looked like the best open source java based wiki and tossed it up on my...
We are hiring for a few mid to senior level java positions. If you are interested or know anyone that is interested please let me know or apply directly on the...
No problem at all. Just send me the IP and I'll update the DNS. The domain is: http://www.jaxjug.org/ which I think is barely working with a dynamic DNS. ...

Hi Tim, I don't care much for the built-in JSF error handling either. I normally use a 16x16 icon that matches our red logo stone in between the label and...
... I tend to favor putting a "<-- REQUIRED" next to items that got missed, because I don't trust users to read the instructions. Alas, I also know that even...

Hi Tim, I wasn't addressing just required fields, but validation errors in general. Of course, "aLabel input is required" is also a validation error... Under...
Supposedly, this requires less manual labor, but I haven't had a chance to do a straight-up comparison. The Validation JSR is scheduled to go into the final...

Hi Jason, I'll be there around 9 PM. Not sure how keen I'll be since Thursday is Quarterly Estimated Tax payment day. For those pooh-poohing, aside from ...
The JCP is offering free membership to JUGs until February 28. http://jcp.org/en/participation/membership While we've been fairly feeble organizationally, IMO...
Neat.... thanks Joe Sam. I remember hearing that JSR 310 <http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=310> (the new Date/Time API based on Joda time) was in a bit of...
I am debating if I will come or not. Likely not. :( I have work, but I can take time off. Really main factor is it's damn cold out there :) Yeah I know for...
*Bump* :) Any takers on getting having JaxJUG join the JCP as a group? I'd reckon if we got a handful of folks (say 5?) to volunteer a yes that would be ...
I'm already an individual member. Participating in JSRs is the primary reason to join, but as a member you also get the right to vote on executive committee...

Heh William. I'm in San Francisco right now (I'm on-site this week) and it was a high of 70 degrees today. I think I picked a good weekend to get out of...
