Just did a search on here and didn't see anyone post so maybe nobody in the group heard, like I just did, that Dion Gillard passed away back on Sept. 25th of...
... Christ I hadn't noticed, indeed he will be missed. Even though I was friends with him on Facebook, I hadn't used it in a while (nor reading here much) so I...
Here is an article from Dion, appeared he had incurable skin cancer. http://www.multitask.com.au/people/dion/archives/000621.html [Non-text portions of this...
... I met him through the Websphere User's Group I dunno, something like 1999 or 2000, probably around the same time I joined STJ. It is a sad loss. Melanoma...
Jason, Dion will surely be missed. His voice was always one of clear sharp reason and really brilliant answers. I propose we all raise a toast in his honor. ...
... I've been pondering Dion's passing for a couple of hours now, ever since Jason posted the news. I never met Dion, but I "knew" him from the list, just like...
... sharp reason ... his honor. ... Especially the ... I hear you Joey. I've been thinking about it all day. I feel worse now than I did earlier because I...
I'm very saddened to hear about Dion's passing. Especially so to hear that he was a victim of cancer. A disease which has taken much from my family and...

... It has truly gotten out of control. I will be perfectly happy if Java 7 never ships. Here's yet another example: "When Should You Jump? JSR 308. That's...
I don't mind the feature, at the class level, to allow true better support for Grails (or whatever) to complete with Python or Ruby. In that context, it makes...
... that's scary. they are even proposing rubbish that ALREADY EXISTS e.g. ... What is the problem with void marshal(final Object jaxbElement, Writer writer) {...
... And in the long run, aren't they defeating the purpose? JSR 308 exists so that the compiler can check for NullPointerExceptions and type safety but at the...
A friend of mine is involved in a new venture and he's giving away free hardware if you sign up for his news letter. Art is a pretty bright guy so I imagine...
I generally support these language extensions but I have to wonder - if I had to learn Java today from the ground up would I be able to do it - there is sooo...
2009/1/5 Victor Grazi <vgrazi@...> ... Another thing is, that people learn all these "features" rather than concentrating on how to write good software,...
... It has indeed gotten out of control. Because, frankly, I just don't see any professional Java developers *using* this stuff! Honestly, the most recent...

Actually we are doing a RESTful Web Services project using Jersey, which requires annotations, and also uses JAXB which also uses annotations, heavily. Also,...
... We've started using annotations in a big way, via Spring's annotation support, and via Jersey (JAX-RS JSR 311). I really love Jersey. Two examples from the...
... Meh. I'd definitely put annotations high on that list of annoying syntactical additions to Java that do harm to code readability for very little benefit...
... Are you comparing that with what the equivalent web.xml+servlets+struts+whatever-million-xml-config-files to do the same thing another way? Is the only...
... No. In my mind it's kinda a given that code should be code and config files should be config files and they shouldn't be merged. Dunno, but being a...
