One of the guys here is using velocity templates to generate standard database code. Is there a particular type of code you are looking to generate? ... -- Rob...
I've started looking into this. Will probably get something working next week when (hopefully) I have some spare time. JET looks like a nice light-weight...
if you want an incredibly elegant code generator (it uses itself to write its own version on netbeans and eclipse), you can look into the OptimalJ tool. But...
It does look really cool to me -- no doubt very sopisticated tech. I think there are two objections for what I am personally targetting. a) propritary and I...
Eric. Is this what you need? http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/j2se/java2/download.xml Registration is free, but you should have a login already if...
well, OptimalJ is an enterprise product... so, it does have that sort of price tag. however, if i am doing a large J2EE project where I need to get to...
I was talking with a former boss of mine who is looking into putting together a web-based math education tool and wanted to get a notion from me of how much...
... Most of my tools ... I do. Are you gonna get in there and edit Linux source files? Perhaps. I've done similar things. ... That's why you give them...
I have seen several instances of consultancies charging lower prices for technologies they have not done for long. In this case, they may want to get new ...
... The last company I worked for did that with .NET. We had been a Java shop for several years and when the suits decided we should also "be in the .NET game"...
... Yeah, than it is out for me. Honestly not really worth my waisting time w/ it except to get a vague idea how it difers. (OK, this is a totally different...
I have seen several project requirements identified and then the decision to go .NEt or JAVA. 3 went JAVA. it was thought that .NET would suffer performance...
... Intereszting -- hardly quantifiaible! I would think w/ all of the complaints about Swing and so on -- including the whole SWT annoyance, that .NET "should"...
So this random question popped into my head today, for no particular reason: What happens if you fork(2) a JVM? Take something like Apache httpd which (in some...
Interesting thread. I've been talking to some people recently about doing dotnet development and I'm curious, how long/difficult would it be to make the switch...
Its been my impression that all the 'hacks' that were going into VB have now switched over to .NET. So, it is considerered easier to understand because of the...
... Once I read the review (posted in this thread, I think) of the .nyet "Pet Store" application that got so much attention for supposedly being faster than...
Simply put Eric, Vendor lock-in is only an issue for large enterprises. Most small-mid size companies doing .NET don't care about it because 1. they are...
... I would have to disagree here, speaking as someone working for a small company. The last thing we need is to paint ourselves into a corner where a ...
... All true. And no, you're not the only one who loathes vendor lock-in. But nevertheless, as a developer it's very important to me that I not find myself...
Carl and Gert, You missed my point. I think vendor lockin is an issue for EVERYONE but... for most companies it is not because PHBs don't know it should be. ...
... I think it is the opposite. In a large organization, vendor lock-in is pretty much a given. There is no way, for example, I am ever going to get anything...
... Come on, don't make it sound as if we're all going hungry. It is far from the case that Java development is dying or that we won't be able to make a living...
The problem I'm facing is that there's very little development of any type going on where I live and the few firms here are very technologically conservative...
